The 
August Menu...

Baby, it's hot outside.  So we decided to showcase some cool summer cocktails for you to enjoy. Cheers!



Helpful Hints...



Fresh Sour...

 

To make fresh sour mix, combine 2 parts lemon juice and 1 part simple syrup.





Sugar Rim...

To rim a glass, moisten the rim of the glass with a lemon wedge and dip into a bowl of superfine or baker’s sugar



Making Lemon Spirals...

To make a long lemon spiral…using a paring knife, start at the top and peel the entire lemon like an apple (about ¼ - ½ inch wide).  The paring knife should be kept between the peel and the pith.  Practice makes perfect!



Chilling a Cocktail Glass...

 

Fill cocktail glass with fresh ice prior to creating your cocktail.  When your cocktail is completed, discard ice from glass, and pour your cocktail into the chilled glass.  Do not dry your glass!






The Cocktail Menu
