3/4/19 – If you still haven’t had the pleasure of perusing the Instagram profile “Spirit and Spoon”, do yourself a favour and check it out. LA bar veteran Karl Steuck’s labour of love is one part stunning cocktail photography and one part unique, creative and well thought out recipes that are easy to make at home. Formerly of Downtown LA’s locally distilled vodka Loft and Bear, Karl transitioned into creating his own, all-encompassing brand, Spirit and Spoon – a cocktail photography, consulting, brand work and events company. A good friend and collaborator with Revel Spirits, Karl whipped up this delicious marg riff for National Margarita Day.
Of the recipe, Karl says: “[I] had no lime or lemon but did have apple cider vinegar. Decided to go completely off the cuff and make a spin on a skinny girl marg as had pressed celery juice (don’t judge). Infused green chartreuse with the Thai basil, growing in my kitchen, to give the celery a broader vegetal note. Added Serrano to tie it together and then egg white to give it the texture it needed ~ also seemed fitting with the theme.”
