The Botanist: Spicy & Rested

Spicy & Rested

Spicy & Rested


Our take on the Paloma, Spicy & Rested is an effervescent serve that marries the depth of our aged gin with the refreshing notes of grapefruit, then takes your taste buds for a walk with a tinge of jalapeño-infused hot honey (made with fellow B Corp Hilltop Honey).
