Is this the world’s most sustainable cocktail?

A restaurant in Mayfair, London, has created what it believes is the world’s ‘most sustainable cocktail’ – even the cup can be consumed

The drink, Blossom, contains 30ml of organic vodka, which has been infused with purple carrot peel that was previously destined for Quaglino’s restaurant’s compost bin. Jasmine rice milk and off-cut mandarin cordial are also part of the mix, and it is contained within a homemade pasta cup.

Apart from those that come from the restaurant’s waste bin, all ingredients are locally sourced, said bar manager Marco Sangion.

Fed up with negative news? Can you help us?

The negativity bias in the media is holding society back. While it’s important to report problems and hold power to account, we believe there is also a need for rigorous reporting on progress, possibility and solutions. We call this ‘constructive journalism’, and to keep doing it we need your help.

We know you want Positive News to benefit as many people as possible, so we haven’t put up a paywall. We don’t answer to and rely on a wealthy proprietor because, instead, we are owned co-operatively by 1,500 of our readers who joined our crowdfund in 2015. And we’re not beholden to advertisers either, because we know that you only want to hear about companies that have a positive impact.

So, instead, we depend on you. Positive News is more than a magazine, it’s a community of people who see and share the good in the world. We need your support to continue publishing our inspiring journalism and to set the example for other media to follow. It’s quick and easy to contribute and you can support Positive News from just £1. Every contribution makes a vital difference. Thank you for helping us to change the news for good.
