Recipe Description
My first favorite restaurant in Atlanta and one of the first places I could count on for delicious craft cocktails was Ecco in Midtown and this was their best and most acclaimed drink. It’s still one of my favorites and really hits the spot when you’re in the mood for something bright and refreshing before dinner.
