Summer Sips

That is a nice looking peach

The Peach Bourbon Fizz meets our summer drink criteria perfectly

Summer is just around the corner for many of you. It arrived for us about to weeks ago, which is pretty late for these parts. What makes a good summer drink? Well it helps to have lots of fruit and words like fizz or smash in the title. And bourbon. Bourbon can make you forget it’s summer if you drink enough of it. Or at least make summer more tolerable. (We’d like to enter into evidence the blackberry mint julep.)

Blackberry Thyme Martini (see also blackberry gin and tonics, blackberry spritzers)

And summer just wouldn’t be summer without a nice glass of tea.

This blog attempts to collect some of the things I try to create with food and booze. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I fail. My hope is to entertain and maybe help people think a little harder about what they decide to eat and drink.
