Distiller Notes
Garden Party is a maceration of fresh herbs or vegetables grown organically, macerated in neutral grain alcohol, then distilled in copper stills. After further reduction, sugar is added (100g/liter). The simple addition of sugar is enough to finish this liqueur, perfectly restoring the organoleptic signature of the basil.
First prepared by 13th century Italian monks as herbal medicines and elixirs, Liqueurs are distilled spirits that have been combined with flavoring agents. A range of herbs, spices, nuts, fruits and flowers can be used, and a sweetener such as sugar or corn syrup is often added. While typically rather sweet, some examples are herbaceous or tart and pair exceptionally well with desserts or act as a delightful addition to cocktails.
