Gunston Hall

🥂 Day 5 of our behind-the-scenes Garden Party taste testing is here!

Today's historic-inspired cocktail is a bit of a mystery... 👀

Here's a hint: It combines ingredients that would have been familiar at Gunston Hall in George Mason's day, including cider, imported sherry, and brandy, brightened with fresh citrus for a light, refreshing sip that packs a surprising punch.
