  • About

Drawing inspiration from Minnesota’s rich gardens and fields, this fresh cocktail blends juicy native blueberries, cooling cucumber, and delicate lemon balm. Chamomile syrup adds a soft floral touch, in a nod to the wildflowers that brighten the state’s landscapes each summer. It’s a refreshing, deeply local taste of a northern growing season.
