What does the botanical roots box contain?

  • Angelica (35 g)

  • Gentian (30 g)
  • Ginseng (50g)

Mode of Use:

  1. Choose your favorite gin or alcoholic base and consult which botanicals make it up.
  2. Select the ones you want to highlight.
  3. Crush the botanicals you have chosen using, for example, a marble mortar.
  4. Pour the crushed botanicals into a glass.
  5. Add the selected alcoholic component.
  6. Wait 15/20 minutes.
  7. Filter the contents into a cocktail glass, in which there is already ice.
  8. Add suitable tonic water.

Here are some valuable tips:

  • To correctly dose the spices and aromas to add, you need to practice and experiment. The balance of flavors is achieved only after trying different techniques and having mastered the exact doses.
  • Alcohol accentuates the aroma and flavor of spices and it is advisable to have maximum mastery in the manipulation of these aromas. The spice, in fact, tends to cover the other flavors and it is prudent to start with small doses.
  • Equip yourself with the right tools to crush them (the Bembo marble bowl mortar is ideal) and give great importance to maceration, the moment in which all the flavor is released.

How to preserve botanicals?

Place the jars in a cool, dry place, preferably in the dark. Use them for your Gin Tonic but also for other cocktails or in the kitchen to flavor your dishes. Only in this way will you be able to familiarize yourself with the aromas and flavors that will characterize your preparations. You can pick and choose your favorites, always maintaining the freshness of your stash.
