The Amber Wave Cocktail
This season, we’re celebrating with our signature Amber Wave—a golden, gently spiced drink that captures the warmth of autumn in every sip. It was recently featured at New York Bartender Week curated by Hanna Lee Communications
The Amber Wave is made using our best selling premium artisan mixer, The Black Cardamom + Star Anise. Its perfect to elevate the cold fall evenings with two intense spices known for their distinctive aromatic depth. This cocktails brighten up even the darkest night, with amber hue is made with local butternut squash sourced from Upstate New York.
Spice Profile :
Unlike green cardamom, black cardamom has a smoky, resinous warmth with subtle notes of camphor and earth. It brings a grounding element that anchors the drink and adds unexpected dimension.
In contrast the Star anise, prized for its sweet-licorice aroma, is a staple in Chinese, Vietnamese, and Indian cuisines. A delicate spice that brightens and rounds out the cocktail’s profile. Together these two flavors create a sip that feels both exotic and comforting.
