Modern Bird’s Heartbreaker
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | March 16, 2024
There’s a new dessert cocktail at Modern Bird in Traverse City, and it’s releasing our inner sweet-treat fantasies (eat your heart out, Pat Benatar!). Enter: the Heartbreaker ($15). Crafted in homage to both romance and the dessert menu’s rotating flavors, this velvety post-dinner drink combines Oma’s Vodka, infused with local cherries, and hibiscus tea backed by Crème de Cassis with amaretto almond liqueur and fresh lime juice. Finished with a frothy layer of egg white and garnished with candied hibiscus flowers, this “right kind of sinner” is like biting into a tart, juicy cherry. Pair it with the dark chocolate pavlova with coffee whipped cream and toffee crumble, and consider your dessert dreams sufficiently made. Find the Heartbreaker at Modern Bird at 541 W. Front Street. (231) 421-5046; modernbirdtc.com
