AJC Food & Dining: ‘Strawberry cocktails bring the first blush of summer to Atlanta’
By Angela Hansberger | May 9th, 2025
Equal parts sweet and tart, strawberries are one of the first fruits to ripen in the spring and offer a hint of the vibrant days unfolding. This year’s crop in Georgia is especially delicious. Strawberries are popping up all over food menus — and making their way into our cocktail glasses. These establishments offer drinks that capture the fleeting essence of fresh strawberries.
Across the Universe at Brush Sushi
It might change your world. A split base of rye and strawberry-scented sake stirred with umeshu, a Japanese wine aged with whole plums, is presented under a cloud of cedarwood smoke. You will smell and taste each element alone and then delicately balanced together.

Seville Sunset at Gypsy Kitchen
Spritz season is upon us and Gypsy Kitchen is serving up a seasonal sparkler. Seville Sunset brings together Bare Bone vodka, strawberry liqueur, lemon juice and sparkling water. It's sweet but light and refreshing.
