Summer Libations

What kind of fresh fruit or veggies do you find yourself reaching for this summer? Your favorite flavors can easily become part of your favorite cocktail. Hit your local grocery store or market and grab what looks good. Here is one to get you started:

Summer Fling
1.5 oz Vodka (I like Ketel One, this cocktail is also great with Gin)
.75 oz St. Germain Elderflower Liquer
.75 oz Fresh Squeezed Lime Juice
.75 oz Honey Simple Syrup
3-4 Chunks of Fresh Watermelon

Muddle the Watermelon with the Lime Juice, add ice and build tall, top with a splash of Soda Water
Garnish with scewered Watermelon

Tip: This mix can be built in high volume and served from pitchers, great for summer time parties or sitting on your porch with family and friends. For an added punch try infusing the watermelon with a Citrus Vodka the night before your party.
