Cocktail: Faith Fyles | Bartender: Josh Lindley
Faith Fyles was the first botanical artist for the Canadian government. Her job was to document plant species from across the country and then paint true-colour representations of them so they could be identified again later. She happens to have been born in Cowansville Quebec, where the Ungava Gin head office is located.
60ml/2oz Ungava Gin
10ml/.33oz Pernod
10ml/.33oz Strega
2ml/.07oz Bittered Sling Cascade Celery Bitters
Combine all ingredients in a mixing glass and stir on ice for 30 seconds. Strain into chilled coupe glass and express lemon oils over top. Wake up some lemon thyme and place it across the glass. Drop it in if you want.
