Frosty Thistle Fizz

Description: The Frosty Thistle Fizz is a whimsical winter cocktail that embraces the aromatic essence of Hendrick's Gin with its subtle notes of rose and cucumber, and pairs it with the spicy warmth of ginger beer. A touch of elderflower liqueur brings a sweet floral complexity, while the fresh lemon juice adds a zesty brightness to this fizzy concoction. The drink is finished with a dash of Peychaud's Bitters for a hint of festive color and an aromatic undertone.
