Snap Pea Shimmer

This sophisticated cocktail, aptly named Snap Pea Shimmer, is a delightful blend of savory flavors and refreshing fizz. A snap pea shrub, infused with vinegar and mint, sets the stage for a Collins-style drink featuring the crisp notes of London dry gin and the smooth allure of olive oil-washed blanco tequila. Topped with soda water and garnished with fresh mint and delicate pea shoots, this cocktail is a unique and tantalizing experience for the palate.
