Magic Slipper Cocktail
Dorothy’s sequined ruby slippers were silver in Baum’s book, but screenwriter Noel Langley made them fire-engine red to pop against the yellow bricks. Our low ABV cocktail (Dorothy is dizzy enough being displaced from home) by Natasha David of New York’s Nitecap gets its sparkle from a touch of pink luster dust.
