🌅 Sunset Soirée: A Golden Hour Cocktail from Flamingle 2026 🍸

Some cocktails are made to be savored as the sun dips below the horizon. ✨🌇

That was the inspiration behind Sunset Soirée, one of three signature cocktails created exclusively for Flamingle 2026 at Charlotte's historic McNinch House Restaurant. Elegant, citrus-forward, and beautifully balanced, this cocktail captures the warmth and beauty of a summer sunset in every sip. 🦩

🍊 Bright Citrus Meets Sweet Peach

Sunset Soirée begins with SUP Crush Orange Vodka, delivering vibrant citrus flavor that pairs perfectly with the sweet, lemony notes of Limoncello. A splash of St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur adds delicate floral complexity, while peach juice brings juicy sweetness and fresh lemon juice provides just the right amount of brightness.

The result is a smooth, refreshing cocktail that's light enough for a warm summer evening yet sophisticated enough for any special occasion. 🍑🍋

Whether you're celebrating with friends, hosting a dinner party, or simply enjoying golden hour on the patio, Sunset Soirée is the perfect companion. ☀️🥂

🍸 The Recipe

• 2oz SUP Crush Orange Vodka

• 1.5oz Limoncello

• 0.25oz St-Germain Elderflower Liqueur

• 1oz Peach Juice (I recommend Trader Joe's Country Peach Juice)

• 0.5oz Lemon Juice

• Shake and strain into a martini or coupe glass & Enjoy!

💡 Why It Works

Orange vodka and limoncello create a lively citrus foundation, while St-Germain contributes subtle floral notes that elevate the entire cocktail. Peach juice softens the citrus with natural sweetness, and fresh lemon juice keeps everything bright, crisp, and perfectly balanced.

The combination is refreshing, elegant, and bursting with sunshine...making Sunset Soirée a cocktail you'll want to enjoy long after summer ends. 🌅🍸
