Notes

The story is beautifully balanced with its rise and fall of structure, beginning and ending with the quiet comfort of home and mother. The cocktail too, is balanced with a chalky, clean and delicate mouthfeel and a malt-like finish that compliments Belvedere/Chopin Vodka’s classic subtle and creamy tasting notes.

History

I was inspired by a recent telling of the timeless children’s classic, “The Tale of Peter Rabbit”. My son enjoyed the mix of mischief and adventure with an underlying moral message. The classic tale brings about personal feelings of nostalgia, a sense of place and a moment in time. For me, this was truly the summer of my youth as I was first introduced to Peter Rabbit, and the carnival came to my sleepy New England town for 2 weeks. The tents, trailers, majors, spectaculars and games were otherworldly and remain some of my fondest childhood memories.
