Crossed Signals Craft Cocktail

July 18, 2025

If you’re looking to impress your friends with a unique and refreshing cocktail, look no further than our Crossed Signals. This month, we’re showcasing a refreshing cocktail that blends the rich flavors of rye whiskey and vibrant citrus.

This cocktail marries the boldness of rye whiskey with the bright, zesty notes of fresh lemon and grapefruit. A hint of floral complexity from Pamplemousse Rose liqueur adds depth, while the touch of maple syrup rounds out the flavors with a subtle sweetness.

For a stunning presentation, serve in a chilled coupe glass, and garnish with an elegant twist of grapefruit zest, adding both aroma and visual appeal.
