Experience New York's beloved breakfast like never before with an imaginative cocktail that shakes up consciously-crafted ingredients like Vital Farms egg white and Black Seed Bagels Eau-de-vie

AUSTIN, Texas, Dec. 09, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vital Farms (Nasdaq: VITL) and Black Seed Bagels are pairing up with Pebble Bar, the legendary cocktail lounge nestled against Rockefeller Center, to serve the limited-time 'Pebble Egg & Cheese' cocktail this holiday season. The imaginative cocktail is inspired by Black Seed Bagels' ‘BEC’ made with Vital Farms eggs. Vital Farms egg white, Black Seed Bagels eau-de-vie, bacon-infused bourbon, and more are dry shaken together to create a festive libation available at Pebble Bar starting December 9^th and lasting until the ball drops on 2024.

The cocktail, developed by Tim Sweeney, partner and head bartender at Pebble Bar, starts with Black Seed Bagels eau-de-vie, a first-of-its-kind spirit distilled from Black Seed's surplus bagels and produced by Matchbook Distilling Co. Sweeney builds on the classic bacon, egg and cheese flavors, adorning the top of a coupe with an image of a sunny-side-up egg stenciled with everything bagel seasoning, cheddar cheese powder, and a black pepper mix. The result is a curiously delicious, rich sip that tastes strikingly familiar to everyone's favorite breakfast sandwich.

The cocktail is best paired with Pebble Bar's seasonal ‘Deviled Eggs’ made with Vital Farms extra-large eggs, topped with crispy chili oil, chicken brittle, radish, and chive. These Vital Farms pasture-raised eggs, along with the egg whites in the 'Pebble Egg & Cheese,' are produced by feathered hens who are treated with care and respect, with access to roam outside on fresh pastures.

“Black Seed Bagels has been a longtime friend of Vital Farms, and we always like to find a reason to celebrate together. This year, we wanted to toast their ten-year anniversary with something bold around the holidays,” said Erin Krenek, Vital Farms Senior Communications Manager. “A cocktail twist on the iconic bacon, egg and cheese felt unexpected, and there’s no better place to enjoy a cocktail than Pebble Bar at Rockefeller Center.”

"Black Seed and Pebble Bar are proud to collaborate with Vital Farms, not only because they are committed to raising the standards on everything they do, but because we share sustainability values," said Matt Kliegman, Black Seed Bagels and Pebble Bar Partner. "Black Seed is committed to reducing food waste and the upcycled bagel eau-de-vie is one of our most creative ways to redirect food waste yet. When Vital Farms challenged us to create a bacon, egg, and cheese-themed cocktail with it, we knew Sweeney could create magic in a glass."
