Abstinence Cape Fynbos

I love Abstinence’s confident use of unusual ingredients.  Here I’m beguiled by the inspired use of rose geranium,  its gently perfumed floral notes sitting perfectly on top of the more earthy juniper and the bright zesty lemon.  It’s slightly more overwhelmed by the tonic than I’d like; I felt I had to pay close attention to enjoy the taste, hence the lower mark, but for someone with better taste buds than mine, this could be a winning substitute for gin.
