This scrumptious tackle the long-lasting cosmopolitan has a sustainable twist, and can be enjoyable to (strive) to pronounce, particularly after a pair. Like all of the dishes and drinks at Native, it takes inspiration from the land. We're huge believers in “what grows collectively, goes collectively”, and this drink could be very a lot a product of that pondering. We use Sapling’s fantastic, fresh-tasting vodka, which is distilled from Wildfarmed’s natural wheat (we additionally use their wonderful flour within the restaurant), whereas the grape juice offers the drink a dusty, pinkish hue. The result's a lip-smackingly tart however candy little sipper.
