The Cocktail That Started It All
The Cocktail That Started It All
Sometimes the simplest cocktails are the most memorable.
When we created KWE Sumacade, the very first pairing we wanted to try was with Wild Rose Liqueur from Distillerie Vent du Nord. One sip was all it took to know we had something special.
The delicate floral notes of wild rose pair beautifully with the bright, citrusy freshness of sumac, creating a refreshing cocktail that's perfectly balanced and incredibly easy to make.
It quickly became one of the signature cocktails on our menu at the 2026 Alma Beer Festival. After seeing how much people loved it, we decided to create a ready-to-drink version, available exclusively at Distillerie Vent du Nord.
Our Recommendation
Serve over plenty of ice and garnish with a lemon wedge or a sprig of dried sumac for a beautiful boreal touch.
