There are a few cocktails out there that are named for Brooklyn, this one happens to be filled with a unique and fresh flavor combination. For this cocktail you will need fresh arugula and raspberries, then pair that with pear nectar and the aromatic (and budget-friendly) New Amsterdam Gin and even everything out with lemon juice. It sounds interesting and it is - definitely a cocktail you must try.

  • 5 leaves of arugula
  • 5 raspberries
  • 2 oz pear nectar
  • 1/2 oz lemon juice

  2. Add all other ingredients.
  3. Add ice and shake vigorously.
  4. Strain into a martini glass or over ice in a rocks glass.
  5. Garnish with a raspberry studded with an arugula leaf.
