A Toast to Golden Hour

The Golden Hour Highball is a radiant cocktail that captures the glow of late afternoon.

Tasting Notes

Bright citrus mingles with ginger spice while the caramel hued botanicals of The Pathfinder provide earthy depth. The finish is crisp, zesty, and slightly warming, making it as inviting as the light that gives this cocktail its name.
