The story behind Pomegranate Vodka Sour
This house sour highlights pomegranate, one of Azerbaijan’s emblematic fruits. Vodka provides a clean base for its tart red juice, with lemon and foam giving the drink structure.
This is a Where It's Five house creation inspired by local ingredients and drinking traditions, not a historic national cocktail.
