Lake Breeze Cocktail Celebrates Juneteenth Heritage

Chef Nelson German unveils the Lake Breeze cocktail—a vibrant, heritage-rich tribute to Juneteenth and the historic “Red Drink” tradition—blending mezcal, Sorel liqueur, Cointreau, and jerk bitters to honor resilience and community. Inspired by West African roots and Oakland’s Lake Merritt gatherings, this bold, citrusy sip celebrates Afro-Latino culture through his new book, Caribbean Cocktails: Drinks and Bites from the Afro-Latino Diaspora. More than a drink, it’s a toast to history, flavor, and togetherness. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
