Enjoy thoughtfully crafted cocktails, domestic and local brews, and a vast wine selection at Carpenter Bar in downtown Sioux Falls. It’s hard to choose where to sit between the modern-rustic inside and the chic patio outside.
605 was able to get two modified cocktail recipes that are great for the nice weather, all while not giving too many secrets away.
Toulouse
Ingredients
Fresh Mint leaves
Angostura Bitters
1 ½ oz. Tequila
Ice
San Pellegrino Pompelmo Soda
Directions
Pick off 15 fresh mint leaves and place in glass. Big ones have the most flavor in them.
Don’t push too hard on mint or it will break vessels.
Add ice.
Followed by tequila.
Top off with San Pellegrino Pompelmo Soda.
Stir for minty flavor.
Take a new leaf, open up in hand, smack to release natural aroma.
