Detroit’s Sugar House’s spring cocktail menu features a bouquet of flowers native to the region like staghorn sumac. Unlike poisonous sumac,
the staghorn sumac sprouts bright red and edible drupes often used in Middle Eastern cuisine. β€œThe cocktail is a refreshing sour with a hint of smoke and vibrant aromatics that are perfect for getting you ready for warm, sunny days,” says Julia Haase, the cocktail bar’s general manager.
