"The Barrio#1 Cocktail seeks to support the slum's vegetable garden by acquiring their produce (all tomato, artemisa, curry and verbena are grown there) and letting customers know where those ingredients come from, and creating awareness about the harsh reality these people face through a cocktail that is very refreshing and has a slightly bitter aftertaste, making it a great aperitif as well."
