The Silvia Tcherassi Spritz & The Spring Jewel

Jules Aron

Drink expert and holistic nutritionist Jules Aron is the founder of The Healthy Bartender, a platform that advocates mindful drinking. Commissioned by the Kirna Zabête boutique to create libations to complement Silvia Tcherassi’s new spring collection, Aron crafted The Silvia Tcherassi Spritz, a sparkling lychee cocktail that includes blue matcha powder. In addition, as the beverage director for Seed Food and Wine, Aron had the opportunity to make a signature pour for a dinner with the Fort Lauderdale Food and Wine Festival. The result was The Spring Jewel, a blend of gin, lemon juice, grapefruit soda, and a homemade botanical cordial featuring teas such as chamomile and lavender. (thehealthybartender.com)

Calm Waters

Hauk Cornell, Galley at the Hilton West Palm Beach

For this chai-inspired cocktail, lead bartender Hauk Cornell sought a harmonious balance between spice-oriented tea and herbal tea. He used his own chai spice mix as the base tea and paired it with a Canadian maple whiskey to complement the rich flavors. A syrup made from lemongrass and hibiscus flowers yields undertones of fresh florals and bright lemon. The blue color comes from oat milk, which Cornell steeped with butterfly pea flowers. The best part: The cocktail can be enjoyed on ice or heated and served warm. (galleywestpalmbeach.com)

At his West Palm Beach art and wine lounge, Nomad, Rush offers an array of hand-selected wines as well as a curated menu of globally inspired tapas and cocktails.

It’s topped with ginger beer and finished with a mint sprig, lime twist, and fresh raspberries. The Nomad Tokyo Sour, also by Toscano, marries a hibiscus simple syrup with a whole egg white, lemon juice, and sake, garnished with an edible flower and dragon fruit. (nomad.seanrush.com)

Petal Pusher

Rachel Amato, The Parched Pig

As a mixologist at Palm Beach Gardens watering hole The Parched Pig, Rachel Amato takes cues from art and the seasons when creating a new cocktail. For the Petal Pusher, she was inspired by springtime in South Florida, when cool mornings give way to sunny afternoons before transitioning into breezy evenings when open windows are de rigueur. Amato begins with Lady Grey a la Crème tea–infused Gray Whale Gin and then incorporates Velvet Falernum, a cucumber lavender shrub, oleo syrup, lemon juice, aquafaba, vanilla extract, and lavender bitters. The result is a refreshing and beautiful tipple ideal for a spring day. (thecoolpig.com)
