Easter is a festival of symbols: The egg represents new life, the first green shoots represent new beginnings, and the shared meal represents connection. In many households, Easter Sunday begins with a festive brunch, featuring classics such as braided bread, colorful eggs, and spring flowers.
Our Spring Fizz takes up this symbolism – subtly, but noticeably. Protein in the cocktail is not only there for the silky foam crown, but can also be understood as a small homage to the Easter egg. edible flower on the drink represents the awakening of nature. And the clear THORALM Dry Gin brings structure and freshness – like the first clear spring morning.
