Garden Party Collins
A tall, citrus-bright Collins built on juniper and lime -- ELYSIP's daylight ritual drink for terraces and garden gatherings.
The Garden Party Collins is the drink ELYSIP recommends ordering when you want the bartender to treat your glass like everyone else's — tall, ice-packed, citrus-bright, and built with exactly the same template as a classic gin Collins. It leans on a juniper-and-citrus botanical distillate for its backbone, lifted with fresh lime and a whisper of elderflower, then lengthened with soda until it's properly thirst-quenching. The result sits firmly in ELYSIP's citrus-sharp profile: pale gold, faintly green at the edges, with an aroma that opens on lime zest and juniper before settling into something softer and floral. It's the drink for daylight — a terrace, a garden, the first round of an evening that hasn't decided yet how formal it's going to get.
Opens bright and sharp — lime pith and juniper — before the elderflower softens the mid-palate into something closer to honeysuckle. The finish is clean, faintly herbal, and dry. Best served the moment it's built; the cucumber and mint are aromatic, not structural, and lose their lift after a few minutes.
