In our Happiest Hour series with AMASS botanical spirits, we talk content and cocktails (or mocktails)—giving you everything you need to set the mood.
A gin & tonic is the most popular kid in school. When made well it's refreshing, fail-safe, and easy to make from your own home. The Spanish twist is no different. More eccentric than its British counterpart, this upgraded concoction boasts herbs, like rosemary, and citrus, like grapefruit. This week's recipe comes straight from Robby, sales director, and longtime beverage expert, at the Los Angeles-based spirit brand, AMASS. Be sure to try a pared-down non-alcoholic version.
Liquid courage.
