Bourbon is having a moment. It’s totally on trend with the rise of traditional cocktails from the fifties and sixties.

garnished with Thyme

Your guests should be wowed with the unexpected: this drink is anything but expected. How often have you had thyme and pear together? The sweetness of the pear works with the thyme for a pick me up and for that freshness reminiscent of fresh cut grass. Best served at an afternoon during cocktail hour.

Spiked Elderflower Lemonade

Elderflower Cordial
Lemon Juice,
Vodka, chilled
Seltzer or Club Soda

Elderflowers have been used since Roman times medicinally and for drinks. This rich history is one of the reasons it has become popular once again, but for cocktails. The slight hint of floral notes embodies Spring perfectly with the lemon juice to give it a crisp and refreshing end. These bold flavors are preserved with the addition of vodka and seltzer which work to make it this cocktail even more refreshing.

Sparkling Strawberry Rose’ Sangria

Sliced Oranges
Sliced Lemon
Rose’ Champagne
Brandy
Simple Syrup

Lemon and Verbena Sprigs as a garnish

This is a refreshing Spring twist on the classic sangria. The Rose’ Champagne lifts the palate with a lighter flavor and the bubbles intensify this effect. The addition of strawberries brings sweetness and the citrus lends acidity that works to lift the drink, making it perfect for any daytime affair.
