OPTIMIST Botanical – Bright or Fresh Botanical Spirit (500ml)

The fresh botanical spirit is crisp, herbaceous, and clean. It captures the sensations of Topanga Canyon after spring rains - cool air, heat rising from sun-warmed earth, a burst of nature’s energy in every pour. Crafted with a layered blend of juniper, cilantro, lime peel, fennel, lovage, basil, and angelica root, it offers a bold botanical profile with bright citrus and savory depth.

Seasonal Serves: Over ice with a cranberry syrup and zero-proof bubbles (1:3), or in place of a botanical gin in a Gimlet or Winter Collins. Seasonal Pairing: Roast bird or baked fish, a citrus and fennel salad, herb-topped flatbreads and friends.

The bright botanical spirit is zesty, sunlit, and coastal. It captures the easy vibes of a LA beach, late afternoon. Think warm, salty skin after a swim, fruiting citrus trees, marine breezes. Distilled with organic botanicals - lemon, jasmine, green mandarin, lavender, turmeric, mint, and cinnamon leaf, this spirit delivers lively notes of citrus and sherbet with a clean, herbal finish. 

Seasonal Serve: Simple serve over ice with lemon and rosemary syrup topped with tonic water (1:4), or use instead of gin in a Pear Gin Fizz. Seasonal Pairing: A creamy salmon pasta, citrus salad, whipped goat cheese crostini, and sundowner gatherings that go late into the night.
