A citrus-forward cocktail designed to be as refreshing as a post-rain drive.
As the sun starts peeking out, the air warms and the garage doors finally slide open, it’s time to mixing up something bright and fresh with a bit more “zip.” At Speed Shift Distillery, we believe your spring transition should be as smooth as a fresh oil change, which is why we’re firing up the shaker for our latest seasonal featured cocktail: April Showers.
This refreshing blend of our botanical EnGIN, tart lemon, and the tangy addition of fresh-squeezed, ruby red grapefruit juice is designed to be the ultimate palate cleanser – a crisp, refreshing escape that captures the essence of a spring morning. With its clean profile and vibrant citrusy finish, it’s the perfect way to “weather” any afternoon.

- 1 .5 TB agave nectar
