The Minor Threat delivers a silky, cloud-like texture from its egg white foam, creating a deceptively gentle entry for what becomes a complex and assertive drink. Bitter orange and herbaceous gin form the backbone, while absinthe adds an anise edge that lingers without overwhelming. Bright citrus cuts through the richness, and a delicate floral note from rosewater lifts the finish, keeping each sip intriguing and slightly unpredictable.
