What inspired you to create this cocktail? “As we have all been home for a few months, I wanted something that feels like a picnic in the park but at home.”
When would you serve this drink? “It’s easy to make and easy to share. I would make pitchers of it for barbecues, picnics and house parties, or just have one before a meal at home.”
What music would you pair it with? ““Out of Time Man” by Mano Negra.”
What food would you pair it with? “Maybe tartare or ceviche.”
