Worth Every Scent: Fragrant Cocktails for Spring

Rose Whisky Sour

Toast spring with this elevated classic, which has a touch of perfume—in the best possible way—thanks to the addition of rosewater and a garnish of fresh rose.

Cardamom Rhubarb Sidecar

Inject fresh fragrance and flavours into this traditional Parisian cocktail by infusing the Cognac with tart rhubarb and adding a sprinkle of perfumed cardamom.

Smoky Rosemary & Zesty Meyer Lemon Gimlet

Sweet-tart Meyer lemon citrus fruits are only available in late winter and early spring. They are a real treat in general but especially worth seeking out for cocktail-making. Add a moody, smoky scent to this libation by smoking the glass with fresh rosemary.

Minted Hemingway Daiquiri

The Hemingway Daiquiri is a famous twist on the classic Daiquiri. Here, it’s aromatized by adding lots of fresh mint, which gives the whole thing a touch of a Mojito vibe.

Cherry Blossom Spritz

This easy, breezy sipper is as welcoming as a fresh spring day. Its beauty is in its simplicity and the seasonal garnish, a clipped piece of cherry blossom.
