A remix on the Gimlet, New York bartender Naima Williams’ Eden Jade was inspired by an aromatherapy treatment. To capture that bliss in a sip, she started with a base of Star of Bombay gin and built citrusy, floral layers with yuzu juice and Italicus, an aperitivo liqueur with notes of rose and lavender. Eucalyptus bitters tie everything together, and an optional egg white fluffs it all up into breezy aromatic sour.
