Fruity Strong

지터버그는 진과 보드카를 그레나딘, 라임 주스, 설탕 시럽과 결합하고, 설탕 림과 소다수를 얹은 활기차고 스피릿 포워드 칵테일입니다. 이중 스피릿 베이스는 과일향 넘치고 탄산이 있는 캐릭터가 잘 감추는 강도를 부여합니다. 설탕 림이 있는 글라스는 각 모금에 장난스러운 사탕 같은 달콤함을 더합니다.

History & Origins

The Jitterbug takes its name from the energetic American swing dance of the 1930s and 1940s, suggesting a fun, high-energy cocktail suited to festive occasions. Its combination of gin, vodka, and grenadine places it in the tradition of 20th-century American party cocktails, and its use of both spirits together reflects the eclectic experimentation of home bar culture. The exact origin is disputed.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Lime citrus and grenadine sweetness, with juniper from the gin and a clean vodka note. Palate: Bright and fruity — grenadine's pomegranate sweetness and lime's tartness are driven by the gin-vodka base, with soda water adding refreshing effervescence. Finish: Dry and citrusy, with a lingering grenadine sweetness and a clean spirit warmth.

Pro Tip

Moisten the rim with lime juice rather than water before dipping in sugar to add an extra citrus note that complements the drink's lime profile.
