Notes
HOUSEMADE SASKATOON BERRY, RASPBERRY & ROSE SYRUP: Made in-house at Hearth using real Saskatoon berries, raspberries, and rose. The exact recipe is a Hearth secret, but it adds a fruity and floral element to the Sonata. If you’re making it at home, try a berry syrup with a small splash of rose water as a substitute.
TIP FROM JOHN: Add enough ice to the shaker tin so that it adequately cools down all the ingredients when shaken.
