The Aztec Coolada

Restaurant: A5 Steakhouse

What is your garnish?

A nice big handful of mint, can never have too much, and a piece of chocolate by our chocolatier with matcha, coconut and raspberry

What inspired this garnish?

The chocolate in the garnish really pairs well with everything we’re trying to do in the cocktail, with the chocolate notes in the bourbon. It makes it all come together for this total culinary experience we’re going for here.
