Refreshing

Seasonal

After lots of scientific research, I’ve found that the combination of ginger syrup and soda water is preferable to ginger beer. I’ve also discovered that gin drinks are improved by a good gin. Who knew?! Thanks to @dentedbrickdistillery for this one.

Editor's Note

A clever riff on the classic Suffering Bastard, swapping ginger beer for syrup and soda to sharpen the spice profile. The gin-bourbon split base adds unexpected depth to this refreshing highball.
