There’s a popular "Beach Read" making waves this summer, and it’s not a paperback. Meet the drink of the season: a sweet, sunny mix featuring pineapple rum, a splash of lime, and Liber & Co.'s bright, juicy Pacific Strawberry Syrup — made from the pressed juice of sun-ripened West Coast strawberries.
This vibrant syrup adds a perfect pop of tartness and rich fruit flavor to all kinds of cocktails, but it really shines in this warm-weather wonder. A touch of Velvet Falernum brings subtle spice and island vibes, rounding out a drink that’s fruity, refreshing, and almost too easy to sip as you soak up the sunshine. Whether you're lounging in a hammock or just daydreaming from your backyard, this cocktail delivers major vacation vibes.
Don't forget to leave room in your carry-on for your Elevated Craft Cocktail Shaker — and when you shake one up, let us know! Share the details in our Elevated Craft Facebook Crew or tag us on Instagram.
