Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog

Giuseppe Gonzalez, Suffolk Arms | New York City

Killer Rabbit of Caebornog Carrot Juice Cocktail

In the Killer Rabbit of Caerbannog—named after the character from Monty Python (“Rabbits, English, carrots, you get the deal”)—Giuseppe Gonzalez of New York’s brand-new Suffolk Arms contrasts Scotch, a quintessential winter spirit, with spring-ready vegetable juices and that staple of warm weather and lawn parties: Pimm’s. The result is boozy and earthy, yet refreshing: the cocktail equivalent of a crisp trench coat.
