stiatorio Milos | Mother’s Day Spritz: Demeter’s Blush is a radiant spritz cocktail inspired by the beauty of spring and the mythology of renewal, $19 CAD.

We crafted this spritz, featuring bright pink botanicals and Greek sparkling rosé, to celebrate the springtime blooms that Demeter brought to the world out of love for her child. It’s a vibrant, refreshing toast to mothers everywhere.”
