It’s Gonna Beet May
Spring is here and we’re in our beet girl era. Fords Gin for that crisp botanical kick, Aperol keeping it light and citrusy, fresh-pressed beet juice bringing the drama, and house-made strawberry syrup for the perfect sweet-tart balance. It’s bright, it’s bold, it’s giving main character energy.
Only at Wisner Bar. Get it before May actually gets here. #WisnerBar #SpringSips #ItsGonnaBeetMay
