The story behind Kamchatka Berry Sour
Wild-berry purée is the Kamchatka cue in this vodka sour, evoking the tart berries of Russia’s far east. Lemon heightens the fruit and a little syrup softens it, making a vivid first drink at dusk.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
