Daisy Buchanan

It has been a mightly fine summer for cocktails! Last summer we were on the road so much that we failed to harvest much of our garden and we didn't spend nearly enough time outside enjoying it. This year has been the reverse--we have rarely traveled and spent a lot of time at home, making food and drink for family and friends. This one shows off that despite the shortage, we laid in enough yellow chartreuse to get us through. 2.0 oz Rye 0.75 oz dry vermouth 0.5 oz Aperol 0.25 - oz Yellow chartreuse Stir with ice and pour into coupe or Nick and Nora glass. No garnish. Daisy; what a gal! Seems dainty, but packs a punch!

Hello Summer Cocktail

I was a bit sceptical about making watermelon juice, and then enjoying it in a cocktail, but I was completely wrong about that! It is delicious and refreshing! 5 sprigs cilantro 1/2 ounce lime juice 2 ounces watermelon juice 1 1/2 ounces tequila (100% agave) 1 ounce Lillet Blanc 1/4 ounce agave nectar Shake with ice, strain into rocks glass, garnish with lime slice. May first dip rim into salt/chili powder after moistening with lime. Cheers!
