Welcome to August's BrightRx: Cocktail Edition.
Vinegar is widely known as an indispensable tool in the kitchen. It brightens salad dressings and restores balance in dishes. However, vinegar also makes a refreshing, delicious addition to cocktails. Its acidity packs a punch in drinks, and it is a fun and delicious way to transform your cocktails. Shrubs, or drinking vinegars, have been a significant element in drinks for years, dating back to Ancient Rome. We asked the talented Elliott Clark to create a cocktail recipe for us using our new vinegars, RAPTURE and PARASOL.
