Sanctity of The Gods

Abigail Gullo | New Orleans

Abigail Gullo’s Sanctity of The Gods, served at Loa Bar in New Orleans, celebrates the unique flora and fauna of the Mississippi River Delta. Hendrick’s limited-edition Neptunia gin gives the cocktail a distinct herbal character that complements a briny manzanilla sherry. A tincture of Vietnamese fish sauce and Sicilian olive oil provides an extra kick of umami.
