VIDEOS: Summer ROOT Recipes from Philly’s Silk City Bar & Lounge

We spent a sun-drenched afternoon with Indhira Torres, bartender at the revived, rejuvenated, and more happening-than-ever Silk City Bar & Lounge. While we relaxed in the new outdoor garden lounge, Indhira mixed up 3 perfect-for-summer ROOT cocktails. Simple, but super tasty, these are great cocktails for a laid back evening with friends on the deck OR a summer salsa-fest! So, get shakin (in more ways than one)!
