Sonoran Sunset
From its fresh, crisp flavor that plays well with grilled foods to its peachy pink color, this cocktail is like summer in a glass. Adapted from a recipe by bartender Andrew Calisterio, who has partnered with Cloth & Flame on events. The drink is Cooley and Laux's go-to for warm-weather soirées.
