This cocktail is perfectly balanced — refreshing, citrusy, herbaceous and perniciously potent — and it certainly took the edge off. The live music from Goga and gorgeous spring day didn't hurt, either. This is the perfectly sippable cocktail you'll want to get in the mood for a movie at LOOK, or you can mix one yourself at home to pregame for a Netflix and chill session.
