Vantage Australia has launched an exciting new botanical infused spirit to the Australian market. Vantage has infused bush flavours such as lemon myrtle, Tasmanian mountain pepperberries and Australian bred mandarin oil to produce a citrus rich spirit, design to drink on the rocks or mixed in a cocktail. As a result of the selection of bush spices, Vantage has quite a complex flavour profile it starts off peppery with a long and smooth citrus finish. It in part reminds me of a very botanical gin which is the inspiration for the cocktail below.
