SEAWEED LEGEND
Like a tale carried by the sea breeze, the Seaweed Legend cocktail brings together earthy depth, floral elegance, and a crisp, oceanic freshness. At its heart lies Gin Whaler. This unique gin delivers a delicate salinity and natural umami, making it the perfect base for a cocktail that’s as refined as it is adventurous.
Blending the gentian-root bitterness of Suze, the soft fruitiness of peach liqueur, and the bright aromatics of Lillet Blanc, this cocktail is a lighter, modern twist on the classic Martinez. The result? A drink that is dry, layered, and intriguingly herbal, perfect for those who appreciate depth and balance.
