A bold citrus focussed cocktail designed to play well with the citrus of lemon verbena and savoury salinity of kelp and sea salt. The salt with cut through much of the bitterness brought by the grapefruit whilst elderflower liqueur add a lighter floral note that adds a touch of sweetness. The addition of Angostura bitters helps to retain the light spice found in Mapmaker’s Rum. Perfect for enjoying in the summer sunshine.
