The Good Bowl's Shiso Fine

Bottoms Up

We’re pretty sure The Chiffons misspoke in their hit song when they sang “he’s so fine”—they really meant to say she’s so fine and were clearly talking about the eponymous (and punny!) cocktail at The Good Bowl in Traverse City! A twist on traditional Vietnamese flavors, the Shiso Fine ($14) features a base of Gypsy Vodka shaken with delicate soju (a Korean spirit distilled from rice), fresh lemon juice, and a homemade syrup made from turbinado sugar and Shiso leaf, a southern Asian herb related to mint that’s tangy and subtly sweet. Served up and topped with shiso leaf and dehydrated lemon, this bright and refreshing bevvy makes for the ultimate summer sip. (It also pairs perfectly with herby bites, like the eatery’s Co’m Rice Bowl or Papaya Salad!) Find The Good Bowl at 328 E. Front St. in Traverse City. goodbowleatery.com
