A rather interesting discovery: combination of ingredients you will not find in a drink every day.
This cocktail is ready to take you on a journey of tastes. Starting with a pine and rosemary aromas when you lift the drink. A hit of lemon, followed by a silky-smooth egg white after the first sip. Eventually setting you up to experience the bitterness of pine.
I was pleasantly surprised how well it works. It might not be the most suitable cocktail for spring and summer, but the next Christmas it will make a comeback at my home for sure.
