"AT LAST, AN ADVENTURE THAT ARRIVES UNEXPECTEDLY AND GRAVITATES TOWARD AN UNFORESEEN OUTCOME."
ANTAL SZERB: JOURNEY BY MOONLIGHT
Imagine how the story of Millicent Ingram, the charming and laid-back young American lady whose path crossed with Mihály's in the town of Foligno in Antal Szerb’s novel, might continue! Upon returning home from her European adventure, she no doubt remains a true social butterfly—an enterprising woman who draws just enough from her exotic wanderings to enhance her naive charm, all while "preserving the unspoiled purity of her American spirit." True to her nature, and to escape the dullness of comfort, she would certainly establish a club—one that reflects her adventurous soul and evokes the hidden, clandestine atmosphere of the speakeasies that thrived during the Prohibition era of her youth.
It is from this imagined milieu that Mrs Millicent speakeasy gin was born. Elegant and refined, yet daring in its own liberated and sophisticated way. Even its label flirts with us, and though it would be improper to pry too deeply into its adventurous past or present, its charm easily sweeps us away. Inspired by the beloved tale of the Hungarian author, it exudes a cosmopolitan, worldly flair, with a design influenced by the elegance of the art deco era.
Mrs Millicent is a new-wave gin—a blend of juniper with various fruits and spices: cardamom, orange, bergamot, and a few secret scents and flavors. Its character is fresh and distinctive. Despite its complexity, its ingredients remain balanced and complementary. Its botanical and citrus profile allows it to stand on its own, but it also serves as an exciting ingredient in cocktails. Naturally, it shines in the classic gin & tonic combination—though it’s worth ensuring the tonic doesn’t overpower it. Let the gin take the lead!
