Citrus · Herbal · Earthy

Blood lime gives the opening a tangy citrus note, while cucumber brings a cool, watery freshness. Juniper keeps the aroma anchored in gin; coriander seed adds a gently spicy, citrus-like note, and its leaf brings a greener quality. Lemon myrtleLemon myrtleThe leaf of an Australian tree with an intense lemon scent, purer than zest and without acidity.Glossary sharpens the aromatic lift, while sea parsley contributes a savoury herbal edge. Each ingredient has a clear place in the profile.

The palate moves from brisk lime and cucumber towards a more savoury herbal finish. Coriander and lemon myrtle connect the citrus to the green notes, and juniper gives the sip a dry backbone. The character is refreshing rather than weighty, with the coastal reference expressed through the named sea parsley and the savoury impression it supports. Its 40% strength carries the botanicals clearly while remaining suited to a tall, chilled serve.

A cucumber ribbon, a small lime wedge and one mint leaf make a restrained garnish: cucumber extends the cooling note, lime echoes the blood lime, and mint adds lift without masking the herbs. Stir only once to preserve the bubbles. This simple combination keeps the focus on Bronte Baths' citrus-and-green-botanical character.
