The Nagshead Lemonade cocktail is very drinkable, but it’s not for kiddies: it uses gin. Anytime a cocktail involves gin, it’s acquired taste time. Refined palate time. Whatever it is, a drink like this is not so much for the Jack and Coke set.
That said, the Nagshead Lemonade is not a difficult drink to love. It’s not particularly refined or sophisticated. It blends a lot of ingredients together to achieve a taste that’s just so, and it is all about taste. The flavor overall is fruity, and the herbal notes in the gin are a bit muted.
