This cocktail was created for Irvington, Gerber Group’s new restaurant across from NYC’s Union Square. While Szymanski sources his produce from local farmers at the famed Union Square Greenmarket, bonus points to you if you can pluck fresh mint and blackberries from your garden to make this tall, bubbly drink.
