Communion Seattle

She is beauty. She is grace. And icons can never be replaced.

Named in honor of the incomparable Ruby Dee, this floral take on the classic Negroni is elegant, bittersweet, and beautifully composed.

Blood orange and peach wermut (vermouth) soften Campari’s signature bitter bite, while Blood Orange & Tarragon Gin (from Black-owned Common Ground Spirits) adds fragrant citrus and herbal depth.

Like its namesake, this cocktail is graceful without ever losing its strength. Timeless, refined, and worthy of every sip 🌹🍑✨️
