A handcrafted botanical elixir from FloraLuna Apothecary & Trading Co. of Petaluma, California — founded by Phaedra Achor, an esoteric chef, perfumer, coastline forager, and student of herbalism who began as Monarch Bitters and rebranded after the pandemic. Inspired by old-world apothecaries and 18th-century alchemist formulas, each elixir is handcrafted in small batches — herbs, barks, roots, spices, and fruit infused in high-proof alcohol — on the belief that "sophistication lies in simplicity." The Cherry Vanilla expression layers dark cherry and warm vanilla over the botanical base.
Use: A few dashes elevate whiskey cocktails, Manhattans, and Old Fashioneds — or add depth to sodas and non-alcoholic drinks.
ABV: 40% (80 Proof)
