Sea buckthorn tincture on gin is a drink embodying the harmony of nature and noble alcohol. The recipe is based on the tartness of sea buckthorn, softened by the sweetness of sugar and the depth of gin. This tincture has a bright sunny color and an exquisite balance of acidity and pine notes. Historically, sea buckthorn was widely used in Russian cuisine due to its rich vitamin properties, and its combination with gin adds sophistication to the drink. It is served in small glasses as an aperitif or in cocktails, complemented by citrus notes. It warms beautifully on winter evenings and refreshes in summer, revealing new facets of taste sensations.
