Gambol and Snap

A refreshing springtime drink featuring Dimmi alongside tequila, the Gambol and Snap conjures notes of stone fruit, melon and marmalade. “The acidity from the lime cordial and effervescence from the beer are both far too subtle to bring the drink into shandy territory,” says Chaim Dauermann, but together they lend the drink a subdued sweetness.
