Cold Front Refresher ❄️🍑

When winter storms roll into the Southeast, we all know the drill: panic grocery runs, dramatic forecasts, and a collective realization that bread and milk alone won’t get us through it. Enter the Cold Front Refresher...a fruity, aromatic cocktail designed to take the edge off the cold while keeping things bright, balanced, and dangerously sippable.

This is not a heavy, fireplace-only winter drink. Instead, it’s a reminder that even during freezing temps and icy forecasts, your glass can still taste like sunshine. Peach, rosemary, strawberry, and citrus come together with just enough structure and warmth to make hunkering down feel intentional.

The Vibe

Think snow day, but make it refreshing. The Cold Front Refresher walks the line between cozy and crisp...fruit-forward without being sweet, herbal without being aggressive, and strong enough to make the storm feel a little less dramatic.

Perfect for:

• Watching sleet hit the windows

• Texting friends about power outages that might happen

• Pretending you’re calm while refreshing the weather app
