Review

Rich blackberry fruit liqueur balanced by pink grapefruit and lime juice, with gin fortifying and adding complexity. The flavour is reminiscent of a Bramble served straight-up.

ALL THE FLAVOURS! Seriously - a well balanced mix of sweet, sour and bitter that riff perfectly agaist the complexity of the botanicals in the gin
