With a base of fresh pressed lime, followed by Yin Zhen syrup created with Pai Mu Tan tea from the Fujian Province. Highly prized for its health benefits and richness in vitamins, Fletcher procured the perfect loose tea obtained from the TWG Tea Salon on West Georgia Street under the guidance from Lukas Cervenka, Salon Manager & Tea Sommelier.

The smooth crisp flavour of the Golden Goose originates with especially batched for this Dea Fortuna event – an unreleased Octavia ‘Apple Pie’ Flavoured Vodka.

Six-times distilled to create a perfect balance; it is completely free of additives, including sugar and glycerin.

INGREDIENTS

1 oz Vanilla Essence / 1 oz. Edible Flowers / .25 oz Fresh Pressed Lime / 1.0 oz Yin Zhen Syrup / 1.5 oz Octavia Apple Vodka
