Brewed from a centuries-old American recipe handed down from Native Americans, the new hand-crafted, organic Root is the first "authentic" liqueur to be produced in this country since pre-Prohibtion.
The recipe for ROOT has been resurrected by DIY collective Art in the Age. They've also created another liqueur, SNAP, that's more earthy. And now Moshi Moshi's bar manager Tiffany Doesken has used Root and Snap in two delicious recipes for you to try at home. For more recipe ideas, click here and here.
