Meet 'Fleur de Force', my latest obsession! This bold, yet refined cocktail is all about embracing the complexity of brandy while showcasing its perfect pairing with pomegranate's sweet-tartness. The subtle warmth of ginger liqueur and the floral whisper of rose-petal infused simple syrup bring depth and intrigue to this drink. As you sip Fleur de Force, imagine yourself transported to a moonlit garden party on a crisp autumn evening.
