This mesmerizingly azure-topped gin and tonic draws inspiration from the state of California. Drink creator Julian Cox selected the Golden State's Gray Whale gin for its Californian ingredients, such as citrus and sea kelp. But he says that a botanical forward new Western gin can also be used in its place. "The cocktail takes you on a journey of floral and citrus flavors," Cox says. "It starts with a light and effervescent quality that lingers through the finish."
