About
I posted a patio cocktail to my story over the weekend and folks asked what the specs were. I honestly just took this delicious Sandia recipe, created in 2016 by David Valdez at Simbal (Little Tokyo, Los Angeles; now closed), and turned it into a highball by adding soda water. It turned an already refreshing drink into something even lighter and perfect for hot afternoons.Cheers y’all!
