The Lingering Spirit
The Lingering Spirit is a gin-based cocktail that features a unique black color, thanks to the addition of activated coconut charcoal. This charcoal not only adds the spooky black hue, but also imparts a subtle smoky flavor that complements the gin’s floral notes. The drink is sweetened with a floral-infused syrup, and a touch of freshly squeezed lime juice adds a bright citrusy note.
