Sparkling Lemonade Spritzer (non-alcoholic)
Celebrate the last months of Meyer lemon season with a refreshing alternative to your average lemonade. Our Sparkling Lemonade Spritzer has no refined sugar and uses a small amount of agave and sparkling water to perk up this traditional summertime beverage.
Bourbon Sidecar Cocktail
This sweet and sour, lemony libation has become a favorite! Our Bourbon Sidecar Cocktail recipe is a twist on the traditional sidecar, which is usually made with Cognac. Fresh ingredients and Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey are what make this drink tangy and delicious.
Passion Tea Cocktail
This is a well balanced apéritif that has lovely floral and fruity notes without being too sweet. Don’t be fooled, this is a gin cocktail. Our Passion Tea Cocktail can be served on the rocks or as a martini. It can also be made ahead and is great for entertaining.
Amaretto Cranberry Bliss Cocktail
This festive cocktail is a surprisingly subtle and very drinkable variation of the original Amaretto Cranberry Kiss. Our Amaretto Cranberry Bliss Cocktail packs an elegant punch! It’s not too sweet and can be made ahead, which is great for entertaining.
The Launch Cocktail
The Launch is a lovely, refreshing champagne cocktail. Adapted from the French 75, this cocktail is light and very drinkable. It's sure to lift your spirits at the start of a celebratory evening.
“PomMosa” Champagne Cocktail
Rosé champagne and pomegranate juice make this quick and easy, two-ingredient cocktail into a perfectly balanced and delightfully festive drink for brunch or any occasion.
