A good drink is more than just taste. It's the mood, the clinking of ice cubes, the moment when you pause.

With an Earl Grey cocktail in your hand, it becomes more: a ritual. A small celebration of everyday life. Perhaps with friends, perhaps all by yourself.

And when you take the first sip and the copper cup feels cool in your hand, you know: this is exactly what enjoyment feels like.

Cheers. To you. To this moment.
