The Camel Race
Arak, pomegranate, rose water, lime & crushed ice — desert moonlight

Why this cocktail? Dahlia's first events were improvised in the Egyptian desert. This arak cocktail captures that origin story.
The Story
Dahlia's first events were improvised in the Egyptian desert — camel races under a full moon, dinners on stolen mattress pads under the stars.
