This week, instead of one cocktail, we’re featuring three… because we can all use it.
Johnnie Walker recently recruited bartenders for Kitchen Sink Drinks, a virtual program that creates custom drink recipes featuring unexpected ingredients submitted by consumers.
The program – which launched on Johnnie Walker’s Instagram – spotlighted three bartenders mixing up signature cocktails featuring user-submitted ingredients found in people’s home pantries: Austin’s Amanda Carto (The Beach Buoy), Miami’s Richard Mejia (Walking Tall) and Los Angeles’ Othon Nolasco (Salud).
