Apricot Almond Crusta
The “crusta” cocktail originated in New Orleans in the 1850’s. The signature garnish for this cocktail is a wide orange or lemon peel that encircles the glass and a sugar rim that adds sweetness to the tart, herbal concoction. Loaded with flavor, this libation is great all year long.
