Calamansi Gin Sour – A bright and refreshing sour built around vibrant calamansi citrus
Calamansi Gin Sour is a fresh and invigorating sour cocktail that highlights the vibrant citrus character of calamansi. Originally conceived as “10:22 AM” for the Two Moons x The Poet collaboration menu, this drink captures the clarity and energy of early daytime moments in a clean, elegant form.
The sharp, aromatic freshness of calamansi gin forms the foundation of the cocktail, delivering lively citrus intensity without overwhelming acidity. Hassaku orange adds gentle bitterness and structure, while passionfruit introduces a subtle tropical softness. Gardenia paochong tea brings balance and refinement, adding floral depth and a calming finish.
Light, luminous and precisely balanced, Calamansi Gin Sour is a sour that feels refreshing rather than heavy, designed to awaken the palate without fatigue.
