As a distillery in Washington, Pennsylvania we pride ourselves on paying tribute to the farmers of the Whiskey Rebellion. Understandably, we needed a drink strong enough to defend the rebels from George Washington and his men. And so the Fort Pomegranate was created.

1 1/2 oz. Mint Simple Syrup
3 oz. Pomegranate Juice
