The Lunar Gloss cocktail is a study in texture and restraint. Low in alcohol but high in depth, it leans into richness without crossing into heaviness. At its core is Foro Vermouth di Torino Rosso, bringing layered botanicals, subtle bitterness, and warm spice that anchor the drink firmly.

Maple syrup defines the mouthfeel. It adds a silken viscosity and woody sweetness that gives the cocktail its “gloss,” coating the palate in a smooth, rounded layer. Cherry juice introduces dark fruit character and a deep crimson tone, adding brightness without pushing the drink toward candy-like sweetness. The vermouth’s herbal backbone keeps everything in balance, ensuring the finish remains structured and refined.

Served up in a chilled Nick & Nora glass, Lunar Gloss feels elegant and composed. A floating lemon peel adds aromatic lift, cutting through the richness with clean citrus oils. This is a cocktail built for slow sipping, quiet evenings, and moments that favor nuance over intensity.

Shaken or Stirred? Stirred. Stirring preserves clarity and creates the silky texture essential to this low-ABV cocktail.
