Da Hora

Ivy Mix | Brooklyn

“I wanted to make a Latin-inspired Royale,” explains Ivy Mix of the effervescent inspiration behind her Da Hora cocktail. Utilizing St-Germain as a base rather than a modifier, the Da Hora is light, citrusy, and floral-forward, making for a day drink that finds itself somewhere between a Caipirinha and a simple Royale, or Champagne-topped cocktail.
