A Lion in Sheep’s Meadow cocktail at Vintage Green in Murray Hill is bright, tropical, and playful. This vibrant take on a margarita combines Patrón Silver, lime, and Chinola passion fruit liqueur with a touch of Aperol and cut agave. Served over ice in a basil Tajín-rimmed glass and topped with fresh basil, this sip is ideal for a hot summer day.
