Created by Ariana Vitale in Seattle, this cocktail feels like the first warm breeze after a long winter. Bright, floral, and just a little bit playful. Bourbon lays down a smooth, oaky backbone while pineapple brings that juicy sunshine energy. A touch of Aperol adds a soft bitter orange glow, elderflower liqueur lifts it with delicate florals, and honey + lemon tie everything together in the most refreshing way. It’s herbaceous. It’s blooming. It’s wicked in the best way.

Editor's Note
Bourbon meets tropical pineapple and floral elderflower in this bright, balanced sour. A touch of Aperol provides a bitter finish that keeps the sweetness in check.

This sounds like the perfect drink to welcome warmer weather! The combination of bourbon with pineapple, Aperol, and elderflower is so creative and sounds absolutely delicious.
