Cobalt Lounge

Description

Grapefruit and sparkling wine give this pisco fizz a brisk, citrus-led opening. Black tea essence brings a dry, lightly tannic edge as the bubbles settle, with pisco adding a faint grape aroma. It’s a good aperitif for someone who likes grapefruit and wants a tea-like finish.
