The Lime Tree Arbor was concocted by bartender Jason Hedges out of a desire to both highlight the lime in Hangar 1’s Makrut Lime Vodka, while still feeling tropical and warm-weather-worthy. Jason says he loves using orgeat, a rich and sweet syrup made from almonds and orange flower water, but that needs something with a little structure to balance it out. In comes your Makrut lime and pineapple juice.

Hangar 1 distiller Caley Shoemaker uses only the highest quality fruit and grain when it comes to her vodka, so even if you’re not typically a fan of the crystal clear spirit, chances are this one may strike you a little differently.

Oh and yes, Jason is a huge Nick Cave fan.
