The Penumbra is a velvety, citrus-kissed cocktail that lives in the space between bright and mysterious. Gin and Aperol bring crisp botanicals and bittersweet orange notes, while passion fruit and fresh lemon juice add a vibrant tropical tang. A touch of honey syrup softens the edges, and egg white creates a rich, silky texture that lingers with every sip. Finished with a dehydrated orange wheel, the Penumbra is equal parts radiant and refined.

"Yesterday I had the pleasure of getting my mixology game on with a Penumbra, one of my new go-to cocktails. I’m obsessed with how effortlessly fancy it looks thanks to my trusty Elevated Craft shaker. Simply measure, pour, and voila, you’re a cocktail rockstar! Don’t tell anyone, but a cute garnish doesn’t hurt either." - Elevated Craft Crew member Susan Moulton Dietrich
