Michael Alvarez+FollowBrooklyn’s zero-waste bar is changing the gameGolden Ratio in Clinton Hill is shaking up Brooklyn’s bar scene by turning food scraps into creative cocktails and non-alcoholic drinks. Instead of tossing out peels, stems, or even leftover bread, the team transforms every bit into house-made spirits and sodas. Each drink starts with a single seasonal ingredient, then gets reinvented in both boozy and booze-free versions—so everyone gets something special. The vibe is cozy and unpretentious, with a menu that’s all about local, sustainable flavors. Would you try a cocktail made from foraged fir needles or leftover bakery bread? #Food #BrooklynEats #ZeroWaste00Share
