Esquimalt Kina Blanc is a uniquely Canadian apéritif crafted on Vancouver Island, BC. Made from mead using local blueberry-blossom honey, it is aromatized with wild elderflower, chamomile, orris root, and bitter quinine in the classic French kina style. Refreshingly bitter with a touch of floral sweetness and a lingering, herbal complexity, Kina Blanc is equally delightful over ice with sparkling water or as the secret ingredient in a Vesper-style cocktail.
