The Monarch: A Brown-Sugar Bourbon Cocktail with Thyme and Lemon
Report
Inspired by the sweet nectar of summer flowers, we created a cocktail using Brown Sugar Bourbon, combining its notes of cinnamon and nutmeg with added fresh thyme, lemon and elderflower liqueur. It’s tart, herbal, and beautifully smooth, luscious and very drinkable.
