To pay homage to the great Isle of Harris Distillery romance between brand storyteller Lauren MacSween and her husband, Pim Verhees—who met on a blind date at the distillery and later got engaged on the island itself—the distillery has created an exquisite cocktail, ‘The Ballad of Lauren and Pim.’
Blending citrus, floral, honey, and anise notes, this delicious take on the mimosa is the perfect drink to enjoy with your loved one this Valentine’s Day.
