The Laura Palmer Cocktail
Here's a #3IngredientBanger sent to me by Matt Grippo, bar manager of Blackbird Bar, in San Francisco. Matt is a good friend, an outstanding bartender and a member of justcocktails.org.
This simple, yet elegant, cocktail is designed to instantly connect the imbiber to the scents and flavors of the Pacific Northwest. It was created by Charlie Russo, at Blackbird Bar.
