What is 69 Special?

The 69 Special is a refreshing, long-drink cocktail that lets the botanicals of gin shine, softened by lemon-lime soda and enlivened with a splash of fresh lemon juice. With only three ingredients, it’s uncomplicated yet flavorful-ideal for summer afternoons, patio sipping, or anytime you want something crisp and easy.

The clean base of dry gin carries subtle herbal notes, while the soda lightens the drink for easy sipping. Lemon juice pulls it together with brightness and balance. It’s a cocktail that steps aside and lets flavor do the work.


Don't forget to see what other drinks you can make with the ingredients you already have in your bar.
