By Camper English

 The West Coast style of cocktail in which bartenders muddle a cornucopia of fruits and herbs in their drinks has long been known as a "salad in a glass," but that term is taking on a whole new meaning as mixologists move to mashing leafy greens like spinach, kale, and arugula into drinks this spring.

    Nice. We were experimenting with chlorophyll this week to dial in a concentrated green color for a spray over a drink. It works, and doesn’t overpower the other ingredients in the mix.

    Awesome! I read on Facebook that Erick Castro is making a blue curacao with a base of Cointreau. Not sure what blue color he uses. There are lots of stories on natural easter egg dyes, but for blue they mostly use cabbage.

    We’ve been using a Kale Cordial with St. George’s Terroir Gin with Celery Bitters and Togarashii. Adds a funky aroma like a peat Islay Scotch wash in a drink would.
