The folks at Saxon + Young NYC's East Village have started taken cues from the kitchen to create an array of savory cocktail recipes. This week Andy digs into the secrets behind one of their garden vegetable cocktails, the Bowery Fix. This crazy recipe is a mixture of tequila, chartreuse, and mezcal brought together with freshly juiced yellow bell pepper, lemon juice, simple syrup, and a spicy chili tincture of infused vodka. This isn't your regular fruity mixture or stiff drink, but a complex combination of flavors worthy of the adventure to make it.

Give this a try at your next party and let us know what you think! Is this a delicious mixture or a tragic fail? Would you give this a shot if you were out at the bars?
