Ingredients

1.5 oz Taynton Bay Midnight Gin
0.75 oz Pineapple-Infused Chiaro
0.75 oz Bianco Vermouth
Dash of Taynton Bay Mint Lime Bitters

How to Make It

Method: Add Midnight Gin, Pineapple-Infused Chiaro, Bianco Vermouth, and Mint Lime Bitters to a mixing glass filled with ice. Stir gently for 20–30 seconds until chilled and properly diluted. Strain into a chilled coupe or Nick & Nora glass.

Garnish: Express a lemon peel over the glass or garnish with a small edible flower.

Why it Works: Midnight Gin's signature botanical profile is layered with subtle citrus, Lavender brightness, and delicate herbal notes from the vermouth. As the cocktail moves in the glass, the natural shimmer of Midnight Gin catches the light, creating a beautiful star-like effect reminiscent of a clear night over the Columbia Valley.

Crafted for Gatherings

Inspired by mountain evenings, starlit skies, and the quiet beauty of Invermere after sunset. The Starry Solstice is elegant, approachable, and designed to showcase the unique visual character of Midnight Gin while allowing its botanicals to shine.

Presentation Notes

For photography and serving, use a crystal-clear coupe glass and soft natural light. Gently swirl the cocktail before serving to reveal the shimmering sparkle suspended throughout the spirit. The effect should feel subtle, luxurious, and celestial—not overpowering.

Note: Please remember to drink responsibly. ✨🌙🍸
