Madam Geneva Cocktail
Autumn sips.
Award-winning mixologist and sommelier Lauren Mote and chef Jonathan Chovancek create seasonal cocktails featuring their handcrafted Bittered Sling Extracts.
This cocktail is inspired by the time period at the end of the 18th century nicknamed the “Gin Craze”, a time when there were no excise taxes imposed on gin produced in the United Kingdom. This caused a kind of mass hysteria, and so taxes were imposed and production was regulated shortly thereafter. “Madam Geneva” was another term coined for the era.
