2 ounces Waterloo Prickly Pear and Rose Gin
1 ounce fresh lemon juice
½ ounce dragon fruit syrup
¼ ounce simple syrup
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake and strain into your favorite glass.
“When we develop our spring menu, we’re always drawn to ingredients with bright, floral profiles that capture the season,” says Moonlight owner Ken Yowell. “The Desert Rose brings together pickly pear and rose through Waterloo gin, both botanical and refreshing, while the dragon fruit syrup creates that vibrant color and adds a subtle tropical sweetness. It’s the kind of cocktail that tastes like spring feels.”
Refreshed cocktail menus debut quarterly at Moonlight, with drinks that embody flavors of the season in creative combinations.
“We also create special menus for events throughout the year,” says Ken. “For example, our Cherry Blossom Festival menu, Agave in Bloom, and other occasions that deserve their own cocktail experience.”
