Vermeer

0

A shaken gin coupe with grapefruit, lime and a touch of agave, cushioned by egg white. Maraschino liqueur adds a faint cherry-almond sweetness, while Angostura and rhubarb bitters add spice. Created in Charleston, SC at a team-building cocktail class in 2025.

The Vermeer was improvised in Charleston, South Carolina, in 2025 during a team-building cocktail class. The creator named it after the Dutch Golden Age painter Johannes Vermeer, whose handling of light and depth shaped the drink's layered balance of classic sour elements and contemporary bitters.
