These are so popular that we have decided to bottle the best of them and sell them as extremely small batch spirits as part of our new Distiller’s Cut series.

In this beautiful spring weather, we’re experimenting with cocktails! This one has No.2 Original Aquavit, bittersweet @sipello_aperitif, Crème de Mûre, and lime juice. Served chilled in a martini glass, it’s wonderfully fruity, crisp, & refreshing.
