What is your garnish?

The collins glass is rimmed with a tamarind-salt and is served on top of a beach-inspired blend of dehydrated ginger, coconut, citric acid, sugar, and orange.

What inspired this garnish?

My cocktail was inspired by a Mexican Beach vacation. Incorporating some of my favorite flavors and cocktail styles. The garnish was created to be playful and interactive. To resemble oneself drinking a margarita or paloma on a beach in Mexico. The garnish uses the waste from making the cocktail ingredients to highlight a sustainable approach to cocktail garnishes.
