This cocktail was conceived after a beautiful day exploring Rocky Mountain National Park. All ingredients are Colorado-based however if unavailable in your area, using your favorite rye or bourbon, and any quality ginger beer are fine. The Pine Syrup is available to order online and may be used for many dishes. Unlike traditional syrups, it is not overly sweet (though could be added to some sweeteners for something like pancakes). Thoughtfully made, it offers a quality flavor of the outdoors that is very unique. Note: the pine sprigs frozen into the ice cubes used were not gathered in Rocky Mountain National Park!
