fresh summer water, or if you prefer Millennials Champagne, Chateau d’Escalans Whispering Angel. The brand has made it a mainstay in Nantucket for a few years, launching their latest collaboration of tequila called Codigo 1530 Tequila. (just launched this summer!) Be careful when pouring because the tequila is “pink” and looks just like their rose! Their new signature drink called “The Pink Slipper” includes the signature rose and tequila combined!
