Purple has always put Kelly Sparks of Queen Bee Mixology in her happy place — somewhere between the tranquility of blue and the boldness of red. So naturally, she turned the color into a cocktail! The Lavender Berry matches the energy of the color by striking a balance of the floral undertones with a bit of a kick.
INGREDIENTS
