Aqva Lvce
Gin
Specification
Bottle — 700 ml
No botanical list to go on, so take it as a straight gin: juniper first, piny and dry, with the citrus-and-root bite that comes with the style. The name Aqva Lvce suggests water and light, and the pour drinks that way — clean, bright, more crisp than sweet, finishing peppery.
Serve — suggested, not sourced
Tonic — Fever-Tree Indian Tonic Water, 1:2 — enough quinine for the juniper, not enough sugar to bury it
Garnish — Lemon peel, twisted over the glass
Martini
gin · dry vermouth · lemon
Stirred cold with dry vermouth, strained, lemon twist.
Why this gin — Aqva Lvce reads clean and juniper-led rather than heavily flavoured, which is what a Martini wants — nothing to hide behind the vermouth.
