Stories We Steep

Immerse your senses in Stories We Steep, an artisanal Virginia rye cocktail that harmonizes bold grain with delicate floral and tea notes. Rich Copper Fox Original Rye meets complex herbal liqueur, robust English breakfast tea, honey syrup, and bright lemon vinegar. Crowned with a silky lavender foam, it delivers a deeply fragrant, balanced sip.

Ingredients

how to prepare

Prep: Chill a coupe glass, whip the aromatic lavender foam, and measure the rye whiskey, herbal elixir, tea, honey syrup, lemon vinegar, and lavender bitters.

Mix: Combine the Copper Fox Original Rye, Green Elixir, English breakfast tea, honey syrup, Sicilian lemon vinegar, and lavender bitters in a cocktail shaker.

Shake: Add fresh ice to the shaker and shake vigorously until completely chilled and well-diluted.

Serve: Fine strain the chilled cocktail directly into the chilled coupe glass and spoon the fluffy aromatic foam over the surface.

Garnish: Lay a fresh lavender sprig on top, place three drops of lavender bitters onto the foam, and run a toothpick through them to form a heart design.
