+1 I like that plus adding non-alcoholic mixers, making it easy for someone to make a mocktail without needing to ask for one. |

Bitter Rose: Hella bitters and soda (grapefruit) with a splash (or more) of French rose.

+1. Love a Paloma. Prefer to make it with grapefruit juice and some sparkling water, vice grapefruit soda. Also love a simple Rickey: Pour 1.5 oz bourbon over ice, squeeze in 1/2 a lime, and top with sparkling water. A DC classic. Also good with gin, tequila, even Applejack. |

| Does anyone have a tried and true recipe I can follow? We’ve been asked to bring an alcoholic beverage to a cookout so sangria is what I’ve figured is easiest. But I rarely drink and wouldn’t know how much of each ingredient to use. |

I use this recipe often in the summer to lots of praise: bottle of rosé bottle of sauv blanc 1/3 c sugar 1/3 c brandy 1 c sliced peaches 1 c sliced strawberries couple handfuls of basil leaves 1 c seltzer Stir brandy with sugar in a pitcher until sugar has dissolved. Pour in both bottles of wine, the brandy and the fruit and herb. Chill and when ready to use add seltzer (or you can too each individual glass of sangria with seltzer, but at a cookout I’d add to the pitcher and let guests serve themselves). |

Have you tried those new Tanqueray flavors, rangpur lime and sevilla orange? The bottles are so pretty. |
