Rum Apricot Kefir

Jared Sadoian
Says Jared, "When I joined the management team at Craigie On Main in 2013, the first thing I noticed was a weird, milky smoothie at our weekly meetings. I later found out that it was kefir, which has a sweet taste but all the tang of a great yogurt. I was hooked. In this cocktail, kefir serves as both an acid and a sweetener. Grassy, funky rhum agricole (if you can track it down) and a hint of sweet stone fruit make this drink a full-on flavor party."

Ingredients
