Bourbon Citrus Shimmer
Valentine’s Day is here and it’s time to treat your sweetie to a Bourbon Citrus Shimmer! Nothing says “I Love You” more like a fizzy, boozy cocktail made with love. We got the fizz from the sparkling water and the shimmer from our friends over at Art of Sucre. They are local to Ohio and the idea behind their company is spinning fresh cones of cotton candy in creative and unique flavors for all to enjoy. They are on a mission to spread a little bit of extra sweetness and we are here to help them with that. We used one of their Sucre Shimmer Glitter Bombs (cotton candy wrapped around edible glitter) and it really made this cocktail glisten. It’s so easy to use, just drop it into your drink and it will dissolve into citrus deliciousness. They have a bunch of cool products and even do custom orders, check ’em out!
Along with the Cotton Candy Glitter Bomb, we included our Wheat Penny Bourbon mixed with some fresh lemon, cranberry juice, and simple syrup. It’s such a simple combination but will surely wow your Valentine. For some brownie points, garnish with some edible rosebuds! It adds an elegant touch and offers a great aroma on the nose. Happy Valentine’s Day!
