Our drinking friend, @warrenbobrow1 (pictured above) introduced us to ROOT a while back. What exactly is ROOT you ask? It’s alcoholic Root Tea, not to be confused with a Root Beer flavored vodka or a sickly sweet liqueur (learn more in the video below). It has seen much success nationwide ever since William Grant bought the portfolio last June.

 

To kick-off spring, Bobrow sent along an exclusive. It’s an interpretation of the classic Zombie cocktail using St. Germain. Bobrow says, “It’s quite tasty – especially if you take the time to prepare all the ingredients with reverence.”
