What I’m Drinking Now: Lexi Parker and the Pink Pony Club

Lexi Parker is the beverage director at Poka Lola Social Club in Denver.

I love the challenge of taking an ingredient that most people only think of as something you eat (not drink) and turning it into the centerpiece of a delicious cocktail. Snap peas are so crisp and refreshing, and they really add such a tasty vegetal note to this drink that tends to take everyone by surprise when they first try it. 

Playing around with utilizing fresh produce in cocktails is always fun because produce changes seasonally, so there’s always something different to try to incorporate into a cocktail, depending on the time of year. This cocktail also uses fresh mint, which plays nicely with the snap peas and really brightens the entire drink up.  

While the snap pea syrup is a little labor intensive, the Pink Pony Club is really not that difficult to make. Its build is most similar to a Margarita, and it definitely drinks like one — super refreshing!
