Our Signature Cocktail - The Vanilla Ginger Moon

Created exclusively for Orchid Evenings by the Bar in Dylan's Candy Bar, this sophisticated potable packs a sweet punch while delivering a wide palette of subtle yet distinct flavor notes. Clear corn whiskey provides the backbone; while Liquor 43 begins with vanilla--a flavor extracted from orchids--then proliferates into the other 42 flavors that give Liquor 43 its name, ranging from citrus and fruit juices to exotic herbs and spices. Finished with ginger ale, this cocktail sparkles with cosmopolitan cool.
