Something really crazy is happening… we are drinking tequila 💀 This cocktail is super unique. You want a clean, white tequila. It’s giving coconut and summer, but there is neither coconut nor summer in the cocktail. It is creamy without having any cream. You’d think the nutmeg would signal Christmas but it doesn’t (but it could…). This is one of the most enigmatic cocktails I have ever tasted. And it belongs… everywhere.

Cherry Blossom Cocktail

The Cherry Blossom Cocktail/Mocktail

This spring I’ve been pretty clean (you know, #equalpartsdisciplineandindulgence). When I’ve been indulging I’ve been making new friends; namely, Bo & Ivy Distillers who recently opened their tasting room and released their first bourbons out of Ivy City. After quickly snagging a bottle of the Distiller’s Reserve bourbon, I was gifted a bottle of their Spring Gin which has undertones of cherry, rose, and bergamot. Hmm… what to do with that?! The answer came easily enough since I had recently mastered a new go-to spring mocktail leveraging one of my all-time favorite cocktail ingredients: Damask Rose Water. The result is that this indulgence comes in two forms: cocktail and mocktail. This, my friends, is springtime in a glass. If you need to freshen up, leave the gin. If you’re down, 1oz of Bo & Ivy has you covered.
