Lighthouse

Just as a LIGHTHOUSE cuts through the mist to guide sailors to shore, this cocktail delivers a sharp, refreshing burst of citrus, balanced by herbal complexity.. The LIGHTHOUSE is a coastal-inspired creation, blending Gin Whaler’s fresh botanical and oceanic character with zesty lemon, aromatic celery syrup, and the smooth richness of matcha.

At first sip, the bright citrus and herbal notes awaken the senses, followed by a silky texture from egg white that lingers on the palate. A hint of matcha powder adds an unexpected earthy undertone, bringing depth to this vibrant and well-rounded drink.
