Build

  1. Fill a highball glass with ice.
  2. Add cucumber tonic to roughly half-fill the glass.
  3. Layer lime juice, then gin, Centerbe, aquavit, and saline.
  4. Top with more tonic if needed; stir gently once.

Stacey Swensen's build for Faccia Brutto, served at Lodi in Manhattan. Hendrick's gin and Svol aquavit get layered over Centerbe's herbal intensity, brightened with lime and saline, lengthened with cucumber tonic. The garden in a glass — verdant, structured, savory.
