Garden District botanical soda — strawberry blossom, FORA

Strawberry blossom aromatics · Extra-dry finish · Non-Alcoholic Garden District-style botanical soda with the flavor profile of a summer celebration—lush strawberry, hibiscus, rhubarb—but the crisp, refreshing character of a dry rosé. Grapefruit peel, rhubarb root (tart, vegetal), black pepper, allspice berry, hibiscus flower (deep crimson, used in agua de jamaica), rose petal. Separately extracted, then balanced with lemon juice, fresh strawberry juice, and Demerara cane sugar (pressed directly from sugar cane to retain its molasses character and subtle mineral notes) at 4g per can. Mediterranean sea salt provides mineral finish. Strawberry that drinks tart and floral, more savory than sweet. The hibiscus adds depth and a hint of crimson. Balanced acidity makes it refreshing rather than cloying, ideal alongside food. Tastes like a New Orleans courtyard in summer—jasmine blooming, ceiling fans turning slowly overhead. Serve cold. Glass and garnish optional.
