History

A modern classic inspired by the sun-drenched coasts of the Aegean Sea, Turkey. This refined blend of gin, Aperol, and mastika liqueur is elevated with a hint of Regans' orange bitters, fresh lemon, and a fragrant rosemary garnish, making it a refreshing, perfectly balanced drink that transports you to a seaside sunset. I invented this while experimenting with local ingredients. mastic is made only on the Greek island of Chios and Turkish town of Alacati, I would enjoy this drink overlooking the Aegean island. ~ Denem Orhun
