Our Drink of the Week is the Paint the World Pink cocktail

With Vogue naming Wispy Pink certainly one of summer season 2025’s defining colour tendencies, it’s solely becoming that cocktails comply with swimsuit.

Enter Paint the World Pink – a vibrant seasonal serve debuting at Trial + Error, a much-anticipated new cocktail bar opening quickly in Louisville.

Crafted by Bar Lead Jordan Harris, this drink retains it easy with simply 5 elements, but delivers daring, layered taste. The star? A Raspberry Pink Peppercorn Shrub that brings a vivid tartness and delicate floral spice in each sip.
