Artini Cocktail Recipe: The Threshold (Plus Video)

Jack Rose’s Rachel Sergi creates a tequila cocktail inspired by Frederic Edwin Church's oil painting of the Niagara Falls.

This year Jack Rose Dining Saloon‘s beverage director Rachel Sergi went all out with her creative concoction for the Corcoran Gallery’s Artini Night. 

Inspired by Frederic Edwin Church’s oil painting of the Niagra Falls, Sergi uses a mix of crushed blueberries and green apple juice and tops it off with a special foam of Jack Daniel’s honey and Solgar lecinthin to mimic the falls and mist.
