Cocktail: Fog and Berry | Bartender: Jean-Félix Desfossés
I got the idea for the Fog and Berry on a morning when I went for a walk to grab some flowers for a photo shoot. The aroma of the flowers and fresh cut grass with the morning fog on the river inspired me to create this unusual pairing.

0.5 oz Lime juice
0.5 oz Pink grapefruit juice

3 Dashes Bittered Sling Cascade celery
1 Egg white
1.5 oz Rose and blueberry Kombucha
Dry shake all ingredients except the Kombucha. Shake again with ice. Fine strain in a chilled cocktail coupe. Top with the Kombucha. Garnish with rosebud.
