About
This one is by Ryan Magarian (@ryanmagarianpdx) who made it for Oven and Shaker (Portland, OR). Magarian is known for his excellent bar program and one of my all-time favorite drinks: Pineapple Trainwreck. This is actually an iteration of the Pepper Smash #2, which he created using aquavit (think caraway flavored vodka) and yellow bell pepper juice. Consider this one the margarita version.Cheers y’all!
