Snow White's charms and dreamy affection for the Handsome Prince do save the day, which is exactly what Snow White wants reflected in her song "Someday My Prince Will Come". We took that winsome, rosy song and made "Someday" a cocktail based on Snow White. This cocktail has a smooth, almost buttery sweet and berry tart flavor as a base for the rose floral note that comes from the rose water, DeKuyper Sloe Gin and Lemon Oleo Saccharum in a base of Coconut Rum. Shake it with some aquafaba to give it a silky texture and a pretty pink foam to trace a Snow White bow out of Peychaud's bitters on top. A drink that is beautiful, delicious and sweet, just like Snow White when she's singing "Someday".

Fairest of Them All: Two Spellbinding Cocktails Inspired by Disney’s Snow White
Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs tells the story of a jealous Evil Queen, a hunted princess, and a magical escape that leads Snow White to refuge with the Seven Dwarfs. When the Queen learns Snow White still lives, she crafts the infamous “Sleeping Death” potion, inspiring a dramatic apple-forward cocktail built with absinthe, kirsch, apple cider, and theatrical garnishes. The darker drink contrasts with a second cocktail, “Someday,” inspired by Snow White’s gentle romance and hopeful song “Someday My Prince Will Come.” That rosy, silky cocktail blends coconut rum, sloe gin, berry notes, and rose water, topped with a delicate pink foam. Together, the drinks celebrate the film’s enduring music, characters, and iconic imagery nearly a century after its release.
