Colonial Beach

Every cocktail at Pasture is named after a place in Virginia. Bartender Beth Dixon believes in a farm-to-table approach to cocktails, and she often mixes in herbs and vegetables from her own garden. The Colonial Beach contains green cardamom and grapefruit-peel-infused moonshine, Gran Gala orange liqueur, Cardamaro Amaro, fresh orange juice and local honey vinegar.
