I know, I know – you’ve had a spritz before. But trust me, this gin spritz from Kaitlin Fellers is like no other. The pineapple syrup gives the fruity, refreshing drink a tropical edge, balanced out with herby, almost licorice-like dashes of Peychaud’s bitters. Grab a bottle of Lawrenceville Distilling’s Jaggerbush American Dry Gin to finish off the drink with a few light botanicals.
