If you haven’t heard of Husk, you are living in a hole. Opened in 2010 by well-loved, James Beard Award-winning chef Sean Brock in Charleston, South Carolina, it’s the first place most foodies venture to after landing in the Holy City. Husk is farm-to-table at its finest with a hefty selection of pork. Managed by Justin Simko, a former chef who took his food talents to the shaker, the cocktails are becoming Lowcountry classics. One creation that Simko is especially proud of is the Through the Garden cocktail and here is the recipe.
