The Airstream is the cocktail you reach for when you want something bright, crisp, and easygoing. Light and garden-fresh, it is one of the most refreshing pours on the menu at Camp West, our cabin-inspired craft cocktail bar in the West Seattle Junction. Think of it as a clear blue-sky afternoon in a glass: gin laced with elderflower, lime, and cool cucumber, built to sip slowly while you settle into the room.
What’s In It
- Gin — the juniper-forward backbone that gives the drink its herbal, botanical lift.
- Elderflower — a delicate floral liqueur with soft notes of pear, honey, and white blossom that rounds out the gin’s edges.
- Lime — fresh-squeezed for a clean, citrusy snap.
- Cucumber — for that cool, crisp, just-picked-from-the-garden freshness.
How It Tastes
Light, floral, and exceptionally refreshing. The gin and cucumber keep it crisp and clean, the elderflower adds a gentle honeyed sweetness, and the lime brings a bright tartness that keeps every sip lively. It is balanced rather than sugary — easy to drink, never heavy, and a great choice if you like your cocktails on the fresher, more delicate side.
The Story Behind the Name
Every good camp trip needs a shiny silver trailer parked under the trees, and the Airstream is our nod to that open-road, anywhere-the-weekend-takes-you spirit. Polished, breezy, and ready to roll — just like this drink.
What to Pair It With
The Airstream’s clean, herbal profile loves fresh, vibrant plates. Try it with our Chimichurri Burrata, the Roasted Beet Hummus, or the Peri Peri Cauliflower for a bright, garden-forward pairing. Browse the full lineup on our dine-in menu.
