This cocktail balances the richness of barrel-proof bourbon with the tart brightness of fresh blueberries and a subtle kick of black peppercorn syrup. Bitters tie it all together, creating a drink that is both familiar and refreshingly original, a true taste of the Blue Ridge.

Vesper Martini Cocktail
The Vesper Martini, a cocktail from James Bond’s Casino Royale, is traditionally made with Gordon’s gin, vodka, Kina Lillet, and garnished with lemon peel. However, modern versions often use substitutes like Lillet Blanc with aromatic bitters due to the discontinuation of Kina Lillet. The cocktail is usually shaken over ice to dilute the strong liquor content, which includes 2 ounces of gin, 1 ounce of vodka, and 1/2 ounce of Lillet Blanc.
