The Story Behind The Belltown Goddxssxs

Created by Jojo Kitchen, bar manager at Seattle’s Rob Roy, the Belltown Goddxssxs is a nod to Seattle’s nickname as well as a gender-expansive permutation of the word “goddess.” Served in a Collins glass, the highball combines non-alcoholic amaro with a proprietary cantaloupe shrub, saffron-rose syrup, and citrus.
