The Super Nova (a take on our Pink Nebula) is a FLAVOR BOMB! It is tart, tasty, complex, and aromatic with nice balance of citrus and sweetness. You can use a London Dry style gin, and we often do, but this cocktail screams for a more funky modern-style gin with lots of character – like North Shore’s No. 6, Ransom’s Small’s Gin, Corsair… Just like the Pink Nebula, this concoction uses basil syrup to add a sweet and spicy bite. We have several cocktails which utilize our (basil syrup, so make a batch and give them all a try. Cheers!
