Don’t let the name fool you. The Innocent Saint from Distillery No. 209 may look and sound innocent but it’s a far cry from boring or blameless. Fruity, decadent, and garnished with an aromatic twist of orange zest spiked with cloves this mischievous and tasty blend is sure to please both the sinners and the saints. The tequila rinse sets the stage for a wicked evening, with the flavorful mix of gin and mulled wine syrup rounding out a deliciously devilish drink. If the party gets too out of hand, you can’t blame this cocktail, after all, it’s innocent.
