RECIPE: Table 79’s As You Wish
STEAMBOAT SPRINGS — When someone visits a restaurant for the first time, they often asked their server a simple question, “What would you recommend?” If you find yourself at Table 79 and unable to make a decision from their drink menu, the staff will most likely suggest you try their favorite, As You Wish.
The uniquely named cocktail has a variety of floral and citrus flavors mixed with a gin of rich indigo blue. The color comes from a butterfly pea blossom mixed with the alcohol, and when the color meets citrus, such as lemon and grapefruit, the drink turns lavender.
