A somewhat off-putting name for a very palatable cocktail with zesty orange, gin botanicals, and delicate herbal notes combining well.

oh! summer sunshine in a glass!
I added 3 dashes of Fee Foam for fun and gave it a good shake, super tasty.

A pleasant drink, with a weekend afternoon / brunchy vibe (mine came out a very pretty coral color). I do feel it could use something more to tie together the bracing gin + mellow juice. A splash of bitters or pinch of salt, perhaps? Maybe a dash of Aperol or Campari? I’ll be experimenting with this one.
