Some drinks just transport you. This one layers the bright berry notes of our Strawberry + Pink Peppercorn Shrub with the gentle bitterness of bergamot green tea and the clean citrus pop of yuzu soda. It's refreshing complexity that makes you slow down and actually taste what you're drinking.
The pink peppercorn adds just enough warmth to balance the strawberry's sweetness, while the bergamot and yuzu bring different kinds of citrus that somehow make perfect sense together. It's sophisticated without being fussy—exactly what you want when the weather heats up.
