Stimulate your Taste Buds!

The summer season is well under way and there is nothing better then kicking back and relaxing with an ice cold cocktail.There are a vast amount of liquors out there and when a few are combined correctly can make a refreshing and elegant drink.A few of my personal favorite summer time recipes are:

Mint Julep
4 fresh mint sprigs
2 1/2 oz bourbon whiskey
1 tsp powdered sugar
2 tsp water

White Sangria
1/2 cup peach schnapps
1/2 cup cognac
1/4 cup white sugar
4 oranges, sliced into rounds
2 mangos, peeled and sliced
4 (750 milliliter) bottles dry white wine, chilled
1 liter ginger ale, chilled

Sour Apple Martini
2 oz vodka
1 oz green-apple schnapps
Splash of sour mix
Garnish with a lemon twist

All of these items can be found in our store and/or your local supermarket. So if your looking for that new and exciting drink to have by the pool this weekend, these are a few helpful recipes that will help cool you down in the hot summer heat!
