Modern: Sunflower Spritz

This bright spritz captures Nebraska’s agricultural spirit. Corn-based vodka reflects the state’s farming pride, while black chokeberries—native fruits traditionally used by Indigenous peoples—add tart depth. A homemade sunflower seed orgeat lends nutty richness, and a splash of club soda gives it sparkle, bringing all the ingredients together in a lively tribute to the Great Plains. Aronia berry syrup can be purchased in local shops or online.
