The beverage boasts an interesting taste profile, embracing an ingredient that has been gaining traction in the North American market and one that carries a surprising abundance of rare nutrients. For one, Sea buckthorn contains B12, as well as all four Omega fatty acids. Moreover, the ingredient is incredibly rich in Vitamin C -- "about 12 times as much as an orange." Chef Anthony Strong's Sea buckthorn berry cocktail calls for one full cup of the fruit, fresh ginger, lime juice, chilled club soda, Cocchi American and gin. The ingredients can be pureed together in a blender and served with ice.
