Taste 222

9 Bars in Chicago for Sustainable Cocktails | Eater

"Taste 222 isn’t just a restaurant, but a whole innovation center and test kitchen focused on food, drinks, and technology. With sustainability as a core value, its bar menu features upcycled produce, cool preservation techniques, and strategies for extending the life of ingredients. (Spent tea, for example, is dehydrated, then mixed with sugars and salts for cocktail rims.) Pull up a chair at the bar and enjoy the popular That Life cocktail, a drink that blends BOMBAY SAPPHIRE with a vibrant red bell pepper simple syrup — made with aquafaba and off-cuts of leftover peppers — all topped with a dehydrated lemon wheel." - Ariel Kanter
