Hendersonville has long been known for many things, including its parks and its proximity to Old Hickory Lake. It is also famous for being the home of many famous country music legends, including the late Johnny and June Carter Cash.
However, despite all its fame, the Hendersonville has never had a drink named for it.
That is, until now.
Inspired by the famous Cash albums Ring of Fire and Orange Blossom Special, we created a new drink to help usher in fall. With the assistance of talented mixologists from Pour Vous! and Safari’s Grill, we are proud to announce the “Orange Blossom Ring of Fire Special.”
