Notes
Floral, citrusy, and lightly sparkling—this cocktail honors the bee fly, a fuzzy pollinator mimic with style and no sting.
History
Created for our upcoming pollinator-themed wedding at Butterfly Pavilion in Colorado (August 2025). Designed as a fizzy, floral option that celebrates the quieter pollinators doing important work in the background.
