A zesty autumnal sipper balancing light and bright with Southern charm.
Pink Moon Saloon's patron saint of cocktails, co-owner Marshall King, is going green - a vibrant, shamrock green - and there isn't a drop of Chartreuse in sight. "For our Sugar Pea Southside cocktail, we combine sweet but savoury sugar snap peas, aromatic gin and citrus - all of which are very good friends in the glass." King recommends Archie Rose Signature Dry Gin for notes of Dorrigo pepperleaf, lemon myrtle and river mint.

Blend 2 cups of raw sugar snap peas with 1 cup each sugar and cold water until sugar dissolves. Pass the mixture through a fine strainer. Combine 45ml pea syrup, 50ml dry gin and 20ml lemon juice in a shaker. Add ice to fill, shake, taste, then strain into a salt-rimmed coupe to serve.
