So Fresh, So Green
I know, I know – you’ve had a spritz before. But trust me, this gin-based spritz from Kait Fellers at Lawrenceville Distilling Co., So Fresh and So Green, is like no other.
The pineapple spirit gives the fruity, refreshing drink a tropical edge, balanced out with herby, almost licorice-like dashes of Peychaud’s bitters. Grab a bottle of the distillery’s Jaggerbush American Gin to finish off the drink with a few light botanicals.
And, while you’re at it (now that we’re armed with lots of absinthe knowledge) pick up a bottle of the distillery’s absinthe verte and take a crack at Fellers’ Green Beast, using aquafaba in place of egg whites for a vegan, herbal cocktail.
