History & Origins

The Dragonfly belongs to the gin-and-ginger highball tradition that has roots in Victorian-era cocktail culture, when ginger ale and ginger beer were frequently paired with spirits. The specific Dragonfly recipe has no definitive recorded origin and is considered a modern variation within this broader family. Its precise authorship is disputed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: juniper and floral gin botanicals with a lively ginger spice and fresh lime zest. Palate: crisp and refreshing with gin's herbaceous notes balanced by the warm, peppery ginger ale and a tart lime finish. Finish: clean, gingery, and slightly dry with a botanical afterglow.

Pro Tip

Use a premium, high-quality ginger ale with a pronounced ginger flavor to ensure the spice stands up to the gin's botanicals, and garnish with a lime wedge squeezed tableside.
