“Life's most beautiful moments are as simple as a breath of fresh air and a little sweetness”

The cocktail was created to offer a relaxing option for summer days with a fresh and refreshing drink. The acidic and refreshing taste of grapefruit combines with the smooth character of bourbon and the sweetness of honey syrup to create a balanced drink.

Brown Derby is an ideal choice among modern classics, especially for those looking for fruity and light spirits.
