Modern: Ohio Orchard Fizz

This modern cocktail celebrates the Buckeye State’s seasonal bounty and spirited legacy. Fresh-pressed apple juice reflects Ohio’s top ranking in Midwest apple production—especially from the orchards of northeastern counties—and dark cherries celebrate the state’s summer harvests. Bourbon honors the state’s whiskey roots, tying the cocktail to Ohio’s pre-Prohibition distilling history. Topped with ginger beer and a dash of bitters, it’s a vibrant reflection on Ohio tradition.
