J’s NOTES:

Ed Kenney, the owner and chef of Mud Hen Water, graciously opened his

restaurant for our filming, which included this cocktail with our, now, mutual

friend Jenny Fiedler. Ed was entranced by the White Ginger blooms Jenny had

prepared and sampled them immediately (with permission). They are amazing!
