  • About

Inspired by Idaho’s wild beauty, this modern sour blends whiskey, lemon juice, egg white, and huckleberry syrup—an ode to the tart berries native to the state and found in abundance across its mountains and forests. The Snake River winds through the heart of Idaho, carving canyons and nourishing valleys where wild huckleberries thrive—lending both its name and untamed spirit to this vibrant cocktail.
