PAINT THE WORLD PINK
| WHAT I’ M DRINKING NOW |

Jordan Harris and the Paint The World Pink

JORDAN HARRIS IS BAR LEAD AT TRIAL + ERROR, A NEW COCKTAIL BAR IN LOUISVILLE, KY.
I’ ve always appreciated classic cocktails, and a well-made Gin and Tonic is a staple for any bar program. As I developed our bar program, my goal was to elevate these simple classics. I achieved this with Paint The World Pink by incorporating a raspberry pink peppercorn shrub, which adds both a beautiful color and a lovely tart note to the drink.
This cocktail instantly transports you to a summer beach with just one sip. The vibrant raspberry and pink peppercorn flavors, combined with the refreshing gin and tonic, create a bright and invigorating drink perfect for warm weather. It’ s a delightful twist on a classic that embodies the essence of summer.
