The Fall of Eden
18 November 2019
I found Fifty Pounds Gin to be incredibly fresh tasting when it first hit my tongue. The botanicals were so fresh that I wanted to pair them with some other ingredients in my garden basket. The Cardenal Mendoza Brandy had a perfect round sweetness to it, and I found tomato rounds off that body perfectly. Altogether we have a fresh, unique, boozy punch.

- 0.75oz Cardenal Mendoza Sherry Brandy
