Summer Cocktail Series: The Cucumber Tonic

Cheers to summer! I've got a refreshing cocktail for you, so it can be "happy hour" any time of day. So long as the weather is hot and you've got a thirst.

There is something interesting about cucmber juice. It is very striking in flavor. One taste and you know exactly what it is you're tasting. However, the words to describe it are more difficult. It tastes "clean." it tastes "fresh." It tastes "cool."

Summer Cocktail Series: The Persian Persuader

I've got to thank my Aussie friend Michael for this one. 


Now, I'm not sure where the legend started, but a long, long time ago in a hotel lobby far, far away the saga begins. (I didn't know it was possible to be in the middle-of-nowhere yet somehow be close to the second biggest mall in the country). 

Summer Cocktail Series: The Classic Margarita

Say goodbye spring and hello summer! It's Memorial Day weekend, the official start to of summer, so fire up those grills, get out those flip-flops and get outside. It's going to be a beautiful weekend here in NYC for the holiday. Finally, respite from the water-logged spring that we had.

And.... Since, it's 5 o'clock, I figured that it would be the perfect time kick off summer with the first in a series paying tribute to all of the cocktails that make summer great. 

First up, the ultimate in summer time fun, the humble margarita.
