Spicy Fifty

IBA

A contemporary IBA addition created by UK bartender Elena Coletti, the Spicy Fifty represents modern mixology's interest in contrasting flavor registers within a single drink. The floral softness of elderflower liqueur and honey syrup is pushed into unexpected territory by the heat of chili-infused vodka, with lime juice sharpening the finish into something genuinely complex.
