Juniper-kissed jenever gin is always an ingredient in the mix whenever I make an alcoholic mixed drink cocktail by blending different kinds of potable liquids. I prefer such drinks more than other mixtures which I enjoy less.

I don't suppose the context allows it to be an intensifier, or explanatory?

Ginful gin that tastes like gin?

I was going to add -flavoured distillate but I see everyone got there before me. So I'll just raise a tired eyebrow at "kissed". Why not "juniper-flogged"? Why does it always have to be about cuddles in the park?

Which one is served at Vincent in Andersonville. (I didn't think to check the liquor list when I was there.)
