This September, The Burrito Project, Greenbar Distillery and local bartenders are coming together to help feed the hungry--one cocktail at a time! Greenbar Distillery is donating one burrito per each cocktail served at participating restaurants and bars using CITY Bright Gin.

With a goal to serve 50,000 cocktails in September and give out 50,000 burritos statewide between October and December.
