After a cozy winter spent hibernating in our homes, the warmth of spring is a welcome call to venture outside, to meander through the bright colours blooming in the forest and the gardens, and to watch the bees and hummingbirds buzz from flower to flower. This gin cocktail embodies the sparkle and light of spring, perfectly complementing a weekend brunch table set with an abundance of fresh flowers.
