Delaware Bayside Bliss

Description: Delaware Bayside Bliss is a refreshing, non-alcoholic mocktail that captures the essence of Delaware's scenic coastline and its agricultural heritage. By combining fresh peach juice, a nod to the state's lush peach farms, with the tangy zing of sea buckthorn, which grows wildly along the Atlantic coast, this drink offers a burst of unique flavors. A hint of lavender provides a floral undertone reminiscent of the state's beautiful gardens, while sparkling apple cider adds a fizz that mimics the effervescence of the ocean's waves.
