For those who appreciate a fine cocktail, there’s always a compelling reason to toast something, and the onset of Spring is as good a reason as any. With that in mind, here is an Espresso Martini from Roaster’s Daughter and a fresh twist on the Moscow Mule from Hugo’s Cocktails and Gate & Apple Beverages with complex flavors, quality ingredients, and an exquisite taste:
Original Roaster’s Daughter – Philadelphia’s pride
Crafted with vodka, 100% Arabica cold brew coffee, bittersweet cacao, and natural flavors, this cocktail celebrates more than 300 years of American coffee house history, much of it centered in Philadelphia. 25% alcohol/50 proof by volume, this relaxes you – but not too much because of the balance of coffee and cacao. It tastes elegant and smooth, and does prompt one to expound upon history and politics when in the mood to pontificate. This is highly recommended for espresso martini lovers, and we are legion. Find it here.
Hugo’s Cocktails – fresh ingredients, bold flavors
Hugo’s Cocktails offers a variety of pre-mixed cocktails that emphasize fresh, all natural ingredients, seasonal flavors, and locally sourced products whenever possible, and the result is delicious. Hugo’s Cocktails, in collaboration with Gate & Apple Beverages, offers a take on the Moscow Mule called a Ginger Fuji Apple Mule. Combining fresh-pressed fuji apple juice from upstate New with a bite of crisp young ginger, vodka, and a lingering lemongrass finish, you can feel good about this tasty, nature-inspired cocktail. Chill this inspired concoction, then treat yourself. Read more, order, and check out the other creative garden flavors here.
Cheers to spring and fresh beginnings.
