A Little History

Bittersweet-style cocktails have long been a favourite for those who enjoy balance over excess. This version celebrates our Geraldine roots, bringing together Humdinger Citrus Gin with Barkers’ fruit-forward syrup — a true local collaboration that highlights hand-crafted flavour.

Serving Tip

Serve in a highball glass with plenty of ice. For a spritz-style presentation, add an extra wedge of fresh orange or a twist of peel.
