Hoose Measure

This is my first adventure into something that is NOT a gin … but doesn’t really fit into any of the other easy categories either. It is distilled, but also infused and it doesn’t have anything added after distillation apart from water to bring it down to 40% ABV. It most closely resembles a spirit called geist (the German word for ghost or spirit) but, most importantly, it tastes delicious! Drink it like you would a gin … which in my case means with tonic, but it is also lovely with lemonade or soda if those are your go-to mixers of choice.

The primary botanical is Clyde Valley apples and the perfect serve is to add ice, a slice of apple, a slice of cucumber and an equal measure of Mediterranean tonic … be generous of spirit and pour yourself a ‘hoose measure’ sized serving!
