The Arrival of Summer
Summer Drinks
Sunshine, sand, sea…summer entertaining, summer weddings, summer fun!!
Cheers and toasts to a new season…with seafood, citrus and fruits of all kinds and colors!!
Classic handblown icebuckets with citrus is festive and oh so pretty! Pull out your monogramed flutes, Double Old Fashioneds or stemless wonders to enjoy your favorite drink…
Mine is usually lemonade or cranberry juice with vodka rimmed with basil, mint, rosmary or even dill!! Of course, they are especially refreshing after a long day of speaking!! Garnishes are fun to add, flowers, spears of pineapple…and slices of colorful lemons, limes, oranges or strawberries are delights - why not?! We don’t have to be in Hawaii, at the Cape or on vacation to enjoy simple joys, charm & beauty!
