The Meadow of Islay foraged cocktail by The Botanist
As part of a bid to showcase its heritage, premium gin brand The Botanist encouraged bartenders to create their own foraged cocktail that would reflect their wild side. One cocktail recipe was the 'Meadow of Islay', which uses Botanist gin, Kelvin's Garden Apples, uniper and Grapefruit infused extra dry Vermouth, Propolis Tincture from South Africa and Meadow sweet syrup. The finished cocktail is then garnished with sea buckthorn.
