Restaurant: Narrative

What is your garnish?

Lemon & black pepper meringue and beet & butterfly pea flower colored sugar glass

What inspired this garnish?

When I heard the competition was taking place at Meow Wolf, I was immediately inspired by my favorite room: Sparkle Cave. I love the contrast when walking into it from the darker rooms to a big, bright, white and colorful staircase. For the cocktail itself, I’ve always loved working with bourbon and I wanted to try intense flavors that I wouldn’t normally work with. I actually hate beets but I love a good challenge. Beet, pomegranate, lemon, and black pepper just made sense in my head and really came together to make the intense and layered cocktail I was hoping for.
