FLAVOUR & AROMA NOTES
The Odyssey Gimlet delivers a lively burst of fresh lime on the nose, immediately balanced by the gin’s crisp juniper backbone. The first sip is bright, zesty, and refreshing, with the simple syrup softening the citrus edge for a smooth, rounded palate. As the drink settles, Odyssey Gin’s warmer botanicals – hints of coriander and cardamom – emerge subtly, giving depth and sophistication. The result is a perfectly poised cocktail: sharp yet silky, refreshing yet complex.
SERVING SUGGESTIONS & VARIATIONS
For a lighter take, swap the simple syrup for elderflower cordial to add a floral sweetness that pairs beautifully with the gin’s spice. Garnishing with a cucumber slice offers a cooling lift, while a sprig of basil or rosemary adds an aromatic twist. If you prefer it sharper, reduce the syrup slightly for a more classic, bracing style. Serve in a chilled coupe glass for a more refined presentation, or over a large ice cube in a rocks glass for slower sipping.
