“I look forward to summers in the courtyard at Backstage Kitchen + Bar, which inspired me to make this drink,” Bartender Amanda Bedard said. “It reminds me of warm evenings by our firepit watching the sun go down. Providence comes alive once it’s nice out, so I wanted to create something to match that feeling.”
