Has flu season got you down? Drink to your health with the brightly hued Blackwell cocktail at The Raymond. Blackwell is a sour variation in honor of Elizabeth Blackwell, the first woman to graduate from an American medical school in 1849. It features fennel-infused Rittenhouse 100 proof rye, honey, ginger, lemon juice, turmeric, and a brown-sugar brûléed Serrano pepper. This slightly spicy but well balanced cocktail takes trendy turmeric to the next level with a smooth taste and slightly spicy finish. This season’s drink menu honors innovators, inventors and pioneers so each drink comes with a bit of historical trivia so drink up and toast to your health.
The Raymond 1886 is located at 1250 South Fair Oaks Avenue, Pasadena. Call (626) 441-3136 or visit www.theraymond.com.
