camomila cocktail recipe shelley lindgren a16

Shelley Lindgren of A16 created the Camomila as an homage to the classic Bee’s Knees cocktail. The timeless combination of gin, honey and lemon is upgraded with the floral touch of chamomile grappa liqueur and dandelion and burdock bitters. Lemon juice is split between ordinary lemons and the brighter, slightly sweeter flavor of Meyer lemons—a California staple.
