The White Linen
About
The White Linen is what you reach for when everything feels a little too loud. Light, cooling, and quietly refreshing, this cocktail leans into clean flavors that feel almost therapeutic. Teremana Blanco provides a soft agave base, elderflower liqueur adds gentle floral sweetness, and fresh cucumber juice brings that unmistakable “just washed” freshness. Lime juice keeps the whole thing sharp enough to stay interesting without tipping into sour territory.
Shaken and served over ice in a rocks glass, The White Linen feels relaxed but intentional. Nothing dominates. Nothing lingers too long. It’s the kind of drink that helps you exhale after a busy weekend or reset before easing back into the week. Familiar, calm, and easy to enjoy - like stepping into fresh sheets or catching a cool breeze on a warm evening.
Shaken or Stirred? Shaken. A clean shake keeps the flavors bright and evenly blended.
