This creative cocktail gets its name from the ingredients that it is made of. The special Earthy flavor in this drink is an in-house-made Beet Cognac Reduction. This beet juice drink is paired with rum, vanilla Essence, agave nectar and lime! All of these components are freshly grown and bought from local greenmarkets, organic venders and their own rooftop garden. The bright red color is alluring to men and women alike, adding a garnish flare to make it a fun and flirty cognac.

This green goblet includes a tasty concoction that literally closes the deal. One of the main ingredients is 'horny goat weed' that was first discovered in China. It is a natural aphrodisiac that gets you excited and ready to mingle. This one of a kind specialty drink also includes cucumber, vodka, mint, lime and vanilla essence! This is the perfect drink to give you a little extra confidence and get you in the mood.
