Notes
From the talented and award-winning bartender, Thomas Opie:
“This drink highlights the potential for vegetables to be used as acid balancers in drinks. We’re so obsessed with the ripest fruits but we have the answer right in front of us: carrot, potato, even peas can make a cocktail super different and delicious. Silky, floral and citrus forward, Bugs Bunny would be proud of this one.”
