Summer drinks are always tough for me, much less stocking a full bar. I usually stick with beer. But here’s what I think is the most interesting from the recipes provided: Odd McIntosh, employing one of my favorite liquors, applejack:

Ingredients:

  • Ice
  • 3/4 ounces Lillet Blanc
  • 3/4 ounces Cointreau
  • 3/4 ounces applejack
  • 3/4 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • Orange slice, for garnish

Directions:Fill two-thirds of a cocktail shaker with ice and add the liquid ingredients. Stir vigorously and strain into a martini glass. Garnish with an orange slice.

It’s an interesting summer drink, similar to one of my favorites, the Moscow Mule.

  • 1.5 oz of Bourbon (I used Jim Beam)
  • 1 oz of Lemon Juice (fresh squeezed or the bottle type)
  • Pour into a glass over ice.
  • Stir.
  • Pour into a highball glass, over ice.
  • Add an ounce or so of simple syrup. To taste, really
  • Fill with club soda to the brim
  • Garnish with circle of lime and a plastic monkey

Serve.
