  • About

Named for North Dakota’s state flower, the prairie rose, this cocktail celebrates the state’s wild beauty and agricultural abundance. Rye whiskey—long favored on the Plains—meets a rich syrup of native chokecherries, honey, and hibiscus. A splash each of rose water and sparkling water lifts it into something earthy, floral, and unmistakably North Dakotan.
