This week, Saratoga Living put out a call for cocktail recipes that readers can make at home to, you know, spice up their time in quarantine. (Luckily, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo deemed liquor stores “essential” businesses, and a handful of Saratoga ones are offering at-home delivery.) Our first two quarantini submissions were attempts at recreating Hamlet & Ghost’s Gin Gin Fizz, but the following is an all-original (and earthy) concept, submitted by the Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) staff. Give it a try; you might just be able to find some of the ingredients in your own backyard!
