Delicious Cascara

We loved the flavors of this cascara as an iced tea. A friend who is a mixologist was so impressed he developed a new cocktail with cascara as a base.

Awesome! We have had some really interesting mixed mocktails and cocktails using cascara.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, Dan.
