Art in the Age Spirits
City Style and Living – 6.11.10
HOPE FLOATS
WITH A PHILOSOPHY THAT encourages
a collective of Pennsylvania artists to “produce
high quality work marked by fine craft
and intellectual rigor”, Root (Art in the
Age of Mechanical Reproduction), bucks
the trend of mass production. Inspired by
an 18th century Pennsylvania folk recipe for
‘root tea’, Root is a potent and highly aromatic
liqueur, a combination of birch bark,
spearmint, cardamom, orange, and smoked
black tea that can be sipped as an aperitif or
mixed into an intoxicating cocktail.
Founder Steven Grasse, a former ad executive
and co founder of Hendricks gin, has
re-introduced to the marketplace a truly rare
spirit.
