Nutty By Nature
The Nutty by Nature is a smooth, creamy, and nutty cocktail that combines Old Simon Genever, amaretto, fresh lemon juice, and semi-rich sugar syrup for balance. An egg white gives it a silky texture, while a dash of walnut bitters adds depth and warmth. Blended with crushed ice and served over a single ice ball, it’s a rich yet refreshing drink.
