Grove Sunrise Tonic

The best highballs have always been about balance, not booze. This Grove Sunrise Tonic takes that truth and runs with it, layering Seedlip Grove 42's blood orange and mandarin notes with fresh grapefruit and lemon, then letting premium tonic water do what it does best: add that crisp, botanical backbone that makes you want another sip. The grapefruit cordial here isn't just sweetness. It brings concentrated citrus oil intensity that amplifies everything without turning this into juice. A couple dashes of grapefruit bitters deepen the whole thing, while that thyme sprig isn't just pretty. Rub it between your fingers before you tuck it in, and those herbal aromatics will complement every sip. This is what you want on a warm afternoon when you're craving something refreshing and complex, or when you're hosting and want to offer something that actually tastes like a craft cocktail. No apologies needed. Build it tall, keep it cold, and enjoy the fact that great flavor never required proof in the first place.
