Spring has officially sprung and we’re kicking it off with seasonal Auburn cocktails you have to try. Let’s jump in to what The Plains is serving up this season.

1. Lucy’s Purple Orchid

Consisting of John Emerald Elizabeth Vodka, Aperol, St. Germain, sugar syrup and lemon, this libation turns purple right before your eyes. At first, all you’re served is an empty glass containing a Butterfly Pea Flower Tea-infused ice cube along with a glass of what looks like lemonade. Slowly pour the cocktail substance on the ice and watch as your drink turns a beautiful shade of purple.
