The herbal flavors of coriander shine in this cocktail which features Square One Organic Vodka. The Coriandrum uses a simple coriander-flavored nectar by infusing agave nectar with coriander seeds. Simple syrup can be used in place of agave nectar, but it produces a sweeter cocktail that is almost too sweet.

  • 2 oz Square One Organic Vodka
  • 1/4 oz Cinzano Bianco Vermouth
  • splash of coriander nectar (recipe below)

  1. Pour the vodka, vermouth, nectar and bitters into a cocktail shaker filled with ice.
