Rue de Rêve“The Rue de Rêve already has strawberry as an ingredient, and we amplify that by making a strawberry simple syrup,” says renowned North Bay bar consultant, Scott Beattie. “The dry gin adds a touch of juniper complexity. For summer parties, it’s absolutely refreshing— bright, easy and impossible not to love.”
