Around The World In 7 Sustainable Cocktail Bars
The word sustainable gets thrown around a whole lot lately, but what does it actually mean? Well, sustainable cocktails seek to be more in harmony with nature by lessening pollution and natural resources and conserving energy too. Don’t worry, the cocktails still have that “ooft” factor but they often reuse or upcycle ingredients to inject that green factor. The result is that the industry’s changing, and has led Tequila maker Patrón to launch their Cocktails With A Conscience campaign, championing sustainability alongside some of the world’s most iconic bars.
