Poppy Cocktail

The ratio here is intentionally cacao-heavy, softening the gin's edge and letting its floral botanicals shine through rather than dominate - resist the urge to rebalance it.

From the Bartender

The ratio here is intentionally cacao-heavy, softening the gin's edge and letting its floral botanicals shine through rather than dominate - resist the urge to rebalance it. A London Dry gin works beautifully, but a botanical-forward gin elevates the floral character even further.
