Peachy Green
It’s a few days early, but happy Mezcal Day! This is my entry for a competition hosted by @mezcalcampante, @mezsal_salts, @abarabove, and @root23simplesyrups. The drink I made brings the fruitiness of peach and the herbaceous of several aromatic herbs, bound together by the magic of mezcal (and it’s good friend chartreuse).
Wacky Daiqu-y
Alright alright the name is a bit of a stretch, but it has a nice ring to it no? I would be remiss not to post something acknowledging it’s #nationalrumday, so what better way than with this wacky daiquiri that has 3 types of rum AND vodka! But wait, there’s more!
Verbena Vesper
Lemon verbena is one of my favorite plants growing in my garden. If you’re not familiar with it, I seriously recommend seeking it out. The South American native shrub has such a lovely, bright, lemon-y fragrance that is similar to lemongrass or lemon balm. Our plant is growing like crazy this year so I needed to prune it back— leaving me with a lot of leaves to play with.
