Nice For What

A spicy, savory daiquiri riff that highlights the delicious flavors of a tasty green papaya salad 🥗 The wonderful mix of sweet, sour, savory, and spice from a green papaya salad was repurposed into a liqueur (more on that below) that is complemented by the juniper and other botanicals in gin, the tart lime juice, some muddled green chili, the sumac and lemon peel notes of Moroccan bitters, and the cooling herbal notes from fresh mint.
