Some green things — like mint and basil — get plenty of play in cocktails, but one doesn’t see arugula very often. It’s a bright, peppery surprise in this refreshing cocktail by Brian Means of the San Francisco bar and restaurant Dirty Habit. Means advises using Krogstad aquavit here, for its assertive anise note. —Rosie Schaap

Made it for mom and Peter. Enjoyed! Added a bit of elder flower liquor and let it sit in the ice and arugula for a bit.

Kay

Any ideas for substituting for aquavit? I don’t have it. What could be a close sub? A drop/wash of Pastis could provide the anise, I would imagine? I am intrigued by the arugula!

Andrea

This was lovely — complex and refreshing. Instead of arugula, I used fresh oregano, which I happened to have on hand. Topped with some black pepper.
