Tweedle Dee-Dum
Inspired by the delightful characters Tweedledee and Tweedledum, the floral essence of the Hendricks rose and cucumber accent meets the bittersweet orange notes of Aperol, harmonizing with strawberry tea. This whimsical concoction gives the first impression of sweetness while the brightness of lemon balances the cocktail, leading to a dry finish.Ingredients
