Indigo Landing • Alexandria, VA
With Indigo Landing's low-country menu in mind, mixologist Ralph Rosenberg wanted to create a bourbon drink that was appealing to non-bourbon drinkers. The result, which Rosenberg makes with Maker's Mark bourbon, is this lightly sweet pink drink.

Ingredients

1. 4 raspberries
2. 8 mint leaves, plus 1 mint sprig
3. 2 lime wedges
4. 1/2 ounce Honey Syrup
5. Ice
6. 3 ounces bourbon
7. 1 ounce white cranberry juice

Directions

1. In a cocktail shaker, muddle the raspberries with the mint leaves, lime wedges and Honey Syrup. Add ice and the bourbon and cranberry juice. Shake well and strain into a pilsner glass. Garnish with the mint sprig.
