This cocktail created by Grazia Game Changer Chef Erick Williams’ Chicago restaurant, Virtue, is an homage to patience-one of the most important virtues, but perhaps the one that is most difficult to practice. The sultry blend of rich, red fruits with a sophisticated hint of botanical is proof positive that good things come to those who wait.
