This cocktail is a playful rip on the modern classic Mr. 404, bringing bright citrus and floral notes together in a way that feels equal parts refined and fun. Ketel One Grapefruit Rose sets the tone, while Aperol and St. Germain add balance and depth. It’s the kind of drink that fits anywhere. Sip it while swaying on the dance floor, bowling a few frames with friends, or settling in for a laid-back night at the bar at Downtown Social.
