Canela y Picante
Roots Tentura
freshly juiced peach
Top with ice & Westbrook brewing Co. Gose beer

This cocktail bring together the roots of Greece, my Latin American roots & NYC roots. Peaches are one of the major crops of Greece and can be used to make several desserts with allspiced flavors. Peach cobbler came to mind since I studied Baking & Pastry. I utilized the Gose beer to keep the cocktail as fine & simple as possible. The Gose in one ingredient adds salinity, acidity, & effervescence. The Ancho powdered rim adds a slight spiciness and represents my Latin roots, while the cinnamon powder brings out more of the flavor in the tentura. Cinnamon is found in Greek, American & Latin culture.
