Herb-Infused Cocktail Recipes


Take a moment to slow down with drinks inspired by herbs, fruit, and botanicals. Developed in collaboration with Fusillo Lab, these recipes bring together subtle, layered flavours - perfect for unwinding, whether you're on your own or gathered with others.

Each drink can be made with or without alcohol. We recommend serving these drinks using our CAST glassware.
