White Lady Cocktail by Adele’s Front Room

Today kicks off our series on breakfast drinks, where we highlight those cocktails that fortify our mornings with the gin, whiskey and resolve we need to keep going. First up: Few Breakfast Gin.

Few Breakfast Gin comes from Few Spirits in Evanston, Illinois and was specially designed for brunch cocktails. Flavored with juniper, lemon peel and Earl Grey tea, the gin launched in the Chicago area last summer and is now rolling out across the globe. It’s 84 proof, floral, has a slightly creamy mouthfeel and sports noticeable flavors of citrus and tea–two things that make mornings a bit easier to handle. Now, here are a couple of breakfast cocktails to get you started.
