We’re smack in the middle of spring. And you know that, here at Wondercade, we love a seasonal snack…or better yet, a seasonal drink. Behold: a cocktail that celebrates the crisp, bright, green flavor (never mind that green’s not a flavor…) of the delicious and nutritious snap pea. Jillian Vose over at Crave Fishbar in Manhattan brings us the recipe for this G&T. Its verdant vibe is sure to give you vim…on the vernal equinox and beyond.
