If you clocked my post a few days back on an uncorking of the 2025 Mars Tsunuki Limited Edition then you know why I’m excited to have found this 2022 L.E. A sherry vs bourbon cask aging comparison is imminent! Until then, kanpai! Okay St Patrick. I’m ready for yuh. Sláinte! Toasting the end of the week with a variation on the White Lady cocktail using Martini ratios—2.5oz Botanist Gin, 0.25oz Cointreau, 0.25oz Meyer lemon juice, 1 dash orange bitters. A refreshing cocktail for an unseasonably muggy evening. Cheers!
