Fruity Cocktails
This time of year, the bounty of summer is apparent everywhere you go. At farmers’ markets and grocery stores, stone fruit is plentiful and strawberries and watermelons peek temptingly at you from every corner. Meals are cooked over a grill or wood fire, and these evening dinners turn into outdoor gatherings with lingering conversations and steady laughter. Warm nights like these are best accompanied by fresh seasonal drinks incorporating the fruits of summer, especially those that can easily be made for a crowd, no shaker needed. From a twist on a traditional Mexican Michelada to a fruity sherry cobbler to a refreshing, and not too sweet, sangria, we have drink suggestions to pair perfectly with your summer meals.
