Bright and fruit-forward, the K.G.B. blends gin’s botanical backbone with cherry kirsch and a touch of apricot brandy, all lifted by tart lemon and a whisper of sugar. It pours pale and refreshing over ice with a lemon twist, offering an easy sweet-tart sip. A great choice if you want a light, fruity gin highball that still feels interesting and balanced.
