Eastern Standard

What is Eastern Standard?

The Eastern Standard is a crisp, herbaceous gin cocktail that celebrates freshness and balance. With bright lime juice, lightly sweet simple syrup, botanical gin, and the aromatic additions of mint and cucumber, it evokes garden-style elegance. This is a drink you sip slowly-refreshing, clean, and subtly complex.

Ideal for warm afternoons, rooftop evenings, or any gathering where you want something refined yet approachable. The gin provides structure, while the mint and cucumber add a fragrant layer. The citrus and syrup tie it all together for a flavorful, well-rounded experience.
