Crisp cucumber and fragrant basil lead the first sip, with lychee's soft sweetness trailing close behind. A clean juniper base gives Lacewing the backbone of a proper gin cocktail, while Szechuan pepper creates that subtle electric tingle on the palate — then cayenne closes with a warm, lasting kick that keeps you coming back.
