One of the coolest parts about a local distillery is seeing how the spirits made there inspire what the bartenders and mixologist in their community create. When Watershed Distillery asked local bar chef Derek Reno to do something killer with their vodka for a spring cocktail, the result was The Chesapeake Chill.
Ingredients:
1.5 oz. Vodka from Watershed Distillery
2-3 dashes Bitter Truth aromatic bitters
0.5 oz. Cherry Heering
2 oz. fresh pineapple juice
0.5 oz. ROOT23 Vanilla Ginger Syrup
Blackberry jam for garnish
Mint for garnish
Directions:
Combine all ingredients (except the jam and mint) in a cocktail shaker with ice and shake. Pour over crushed ice. Top with blackberry jam and add a sprig of mint for garnish.
