History
A sophisticated take on the classic Collins, this drink swaps out the typical base spirit for an herbal non-alcoholic alternative and introduces the bright, floral notes of yuzu and elderflower. The cucumber and smoked salt add a layer of complexity, much like the unexpected pockets of life in the Wasteland.
