The DAISY drink - what the heck is it & how to make it 2 ways!

Get your bottles at House of Bitter Bear 👉 https://houseofbitterbear.com Today we're going to make the Daisy! Daisies are essentially a style of sour drink that's sweetened with a liqueur and/or flavored syrup, and topped with sparkling water. However, the drink's been around for 150 years and the template has evolved, so there's more to understanding the Daisy. I'll break it down and cap things off by making two versions of the drink - an "old school" Brandy Daisy, and a "new school" Gin Daisy. Enjoy the recipes - cheers!
