Paint the World Pink

With Vogue naming Wispy Pink one of summer 2025’s defining color trends, it’s only fitting that cocktails follow suit.

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

Crafted by Bar Lead Jordan Harris, this drink keeps it simple with just five ingredients, yet delivers bold, layered flavor. The star? A Raspberry Pink Peppercorn Shrub that brings a bright tartness and delicate floral spice in every sip.
