White & Church in TriBeCa, New York, serves worm, scorpion, and cricket cocktails
This past summer, White & Church opened in TriBeCa, New York, as an inventive Italian restaurant with an extensive cocktail list.

- Why Not- This frozen cocktail is similar to a margarita with the addition of avocado, red pepper, and spicy worms.
