Hemp is happening. Over the past couple of years, hemp seeds—rich in fatty acids and anti-inflammatory benefits—have made their way into our morning smoothies and yogurt parfaits, and hemp milk (similar in taste to rice milk) has become a popular dairy-free addition to coffee. But there’s a new hemp trend on the horizon.
Johnny Swet, mixologist for The Rickey at N.Y.C.’s Dream Hotel, created a cocktail dubbed “Going Back to Cali” that incorporates the small but mighty seed. “I was thinking about Californian ingredients, and nothing is more California than avocado, citrus, and tequila,” says Swet. “Hemp also has some great health benefits and adds an earthiness to the cocktail.” Intrigued? Try the recipe below.
