Forrest Gump cocktail
1 serving
2 minutes
The 'Forrest Gump' cocktail is bold and unpredictable, just like the hero of the legendary film. Its base is fresh sorrel, which gives the drink a light sourness and vibrant green color, reminiscent of a run through a spring field. Cane sugar adds soft sweetness, while floral honey contributes delicate aromatic notes. Vodka gives the cocktail character but blends harmoniously with the plant ingredients, creating a balance between strength and freshness. The final touch—raspberry filled with a drop of honey—adds an exquisite note and finishes the taste with light fruity sweetness. Serve the cocktail in small shots, savoring each sip as a moment of life filled with amazing encounters and discoveries.
