Miranda Hudson is a creative director and brand strategist by day and restauranteur by night. In late October she and two friends are opening the much anticipated Cascadian-focused Juniper in Vancouver, Canada's Chinatown neighborhood. She's a passionate wanderer, maker and lover of all things handmade and delicious so naturally we asked her to mix up a 5 O'CLOCK FRIDAY cocktail. Drawing color inspiration from peonies she saw at the Parisian market earlier this summer, her cocktail is fresh and floral. Enjoy!
