About This Cocktail

Smooth, rich, and unapologetically golden—Garden State Gold is a cocktail that celebrates Jersey's roots with a modern twist. Aged rum meets honey liqueur and turmeric for a warm, sophisticated pour that catches the light (and the right kind of attention). This one's for nights that deserve something a little extra. The combination of aged rum's depth with honey's sweetness and turmeric's earthy warmth creates a luxurious drinking experience that's both comforting and sophisticated.
