We’ve got spring fever, and it will take more than a quinine-filled G&T to cure us. The new Peabody cocktail at Element is just what the doctor ordered. Inspired by the classic South Side cocktail (which pairs gin with lemon, simple syrup and mint), The Peabody loses the mint and brings a soft floral sweetness with lavender-infused simple syrup and elderflower liqueur. It’s mildly sweet-tart, as if something as bold, bright Last Word was diffused through three layers of white muslin. Find your best floral sundress or linen suit and pair with muted spring sunshine on the Element’s rooftop patio.
