Sumac — Bright, Citrus & Cleansing

Sumac is bright with ripe red fruit and citrus, curiously layered over a soft haze of smoke and earth and grounded in deep botanical tones. It’s vivid over ice, shines with bubbles, and works beautifully as the backbone of a serious cocktail. Complex, lush, and versatile, Sumac carries a natural ruby hue that rewards both simplicity and craft.

Drinkers familiar with similarly hued spirits like Campari, Aperol, or Cappelletti may recognize echoes of those profiles in Sumac. It can step into many recipes that call for those spirits—but it isn’t a dupe. Sumac sits comfortably within that tradition while standing distinctly on its own.
