Two Tuesdays ago, I stopped into Craigie on Main for a cocktail. For a drink, I asked bartender Rob Ficks for the Waltz of the Flowers. Rob explained that his creation was a tribute to Tchaikovsky's piece that appears in the Nutcracker. Once mixed, the Waltz of the Flowers offered an orange and mousy sparkling wine aroma. A crisp grape sip shared fruity orange-lime flavors from the Aperol, lime, and elderflower liqueur. Finally, the swallow proffered a mix of grassy and funky rhum agricole flavors along with floral and wine notes.
