There’s a magical season that happens for a short time in the middle of spring. It’s truly an anomaly because most people don’t associate mulberries with the desert. What makes this mixer even more special is we partner with Holiday Farms in Tolleson, Arizona.
John and his family grow delectable Persian mulberries that allow us to create this small run of Mulberry Rose. This black version of the mulberry is tender with a balanced blend of sweet and tart. It reminds us of a blackberry without the sour burst of flavor.
To make Mulberry Rose, we start by juicing farm-fresh mulberries picked at their peak perfection. To complement their delicate flavor, we pair it with organic rose petals. All the floral notes that exist in this berry comes forward when combined with rose water. To finish, there is just a touch of tart to balance the flavors.
This cocktail mixer shines with light spirits like vodka for a Cosmo or white rum for a Daiquiri, versatile enough to create classics like a Whiskey Smash, Margarita, or Mule. The familiar floral notes make this mixer easy to swap out creme de violet for an Aviation. Like all of our mixers, we encourage you to get creative. Explore the endless options right here. Grab a bottle of the small run of Mulberry Rose, made just for the month of April and May!
