Drink Review: White Peach Sangria

Summer is still here, and Harvest Moon's new patio has been approved for alcohol consumption! Our summer cocktail menu, crafted by renowned mixologist, Chris Dehlavi, utilizes only freshly squeezed juices and house-made syrups, as well as beer, wine, and spirits that you won't find most other places. Think handcrafted, signature, unique, and totally natural - and those are the kind of cocktails that Harvest Moon delivers!

My first alcoholic beverage to review is the White Peach Sangria. Fruit-filled with a sunset-colored hue, this sangria is both beautiful and irresistible. The bartender combines Bacardi Rum with Cointreau (orange liqueur) and our New Age Mascato. She then squeezes in fresh orange juice and and Harvest Moon's house-made peach syrup (created in the kitchen from loose leaf peach tea straight out of the Garden Herb Shop). Seasonal fruit is muddled into a white wine glass and topped with ice, and you're well on your way to the Caribbean!

The initial flavor that will hit your tongue is the intense orange that both the Cointreau and and the fresh juice contribute. Then the satisfying bite of rum completes the sip. Come and try your own while it's still summer!
