Botanical Tide
About
The Botanical Tide cocktail is light, herbal, and quietly refreshing. Dry vermouth sets the base. It’s crisp, slightly savory, and full of subtle botanical notes that give the drink its character. Rosemary syrup builds on that, adding a gentle, aromatic sweetness that feels earthy without being overpowering.
Lemon juice brings everything into focus. It sharpens the drink and keeps it clean. Then grapefruit soda lifts the entire build. It adds fizz, a hint of bitterness, and just enough citrus to keep the flavors moving.
The result is balanced and easygoing. The Botanical Tide cocktail feels fresh and slightly savory, with a clean, bubbly finish that makes it perfect for slow sipping.
Shaken or Stirred? Built. Built directly in the glass to keep the carbonation fresh and the flavors light.
