Certified Mixologist Robert Thorton, Jr. is the founder and beverage manager of Sincère Fare, an Atlanta-based private-dining experience. Bringing fresh flavors and a relaxed, curated experience is at the heart of Thorton and his partner chef Joshua Swinney’s dinners. This particular cocktail, the sweet spring, pairs well with the start of frivolities on a warm evening. It’s a low-ABV sipper, and the pineapple juice and sage syrup give it refreshing flavor and herbal depth. Enjoy it with light, cooling appetizers.
