"While cocktails often include citrus and other fruits as an ingredient, rarely do they use yellow bell peppers. But the Pepper Smash #2, developed by bartender Ryan Magarian, uses them, along with aquavit, mint, lime, and maple syrup. The resulting cocktail is a vivid, bright, fresh drink with savory elements balancing the sweet. Offered at the bustling, industrial pizzeria Oven and Shaker from Magarian and Cathy Whims, it’s a refreshing way to kick off a pizza-fueled happy hour." - Alex Frane
