Tall gin drinks are great during the hotter months. This one which also has genever in it is a refreshing quencher with a gorgeous golden colour.
The tiny amount of walnut liqueur is interesting. It feels almost unnecessary when you put it in the mix, but then you take a sip of the drink and immediately recognize that nutty flavour. It's a fun way of using liqueur almost as a bitter.
