LOWCOUNTRY LILLY
Created by The Establishment - Charleston, South Carolina
Introducing the Lowcountry Lilly - a unique cocktail that brings together the flavors of Italy and ingredients from the Lowcountry region of South Carolina. This refreshing drink features Nippitaty Gin from North Charleston, mixed with a toasted rice and green tea syrup made from Charleston Gold Rice and Charleston Tea Garden's Green Tea. The addition of Southern Amaro from Highwire Distillery adds a hint of bitterness, perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the edible flowers from Ghost Grow Greens and fresh mint from Limehouse Produce.
1oz Nippitaty Gin
1oz Toasted Rice and Green Tea Syrup (substitute Monin Lemon Tea Syrup as an alternative to Green Tea Syrup and toasted coconut flakes as an alternative for toasted rice)
.5oz Southern Amaro
.5oz Fresh Lemon Juice
Finished off with La Marca Prosecco DOC
(approximately 2-3 oz.)
Pour all ingredients except for La Marca Prosecco in a cocktail shaker with ice. Shake vigorously, then strain into an “all purpose” wine glass filled with ice. Top with La Marca Prosecco. Stir with a bar spoon to incorporate all ingredients. Garnish with fresh mint sprig and edible flower.
