Make the most of the end of summer
The clock is ticking on the sunniest season. With the end of summer drawing near, considering switching things up to help you make the most of every day.
Try being your own bartender.
That new neighborhood hot spot where everyone knows your name? Your patio. Try experimenting with frosty, whole-fruit drink recipes like margaritas and adult smoothies, but watch the sugar if the party gets too steamy.
"During a season with high temperatures, you want to stick with bright, refreshing flavors," says Tom Macy, bartender and co-owner of Clover Club.
"Stay away from stronger, spirit-forward cocktails and go for drinks with fresh-squeezed juice and crisp, seasonal fruits and vegetables. Something that will help you cool down without getting you in over your head."
Macy suggests trying out one of his newest creations - the JalapeĂƒÂƒĂ‚Â±o Cucumber Margarita, which includes; jalapeĂƒÂƒĂ‚Â±o tequila, fresh lime juice, simple syrup, ice, freshly cut cucumber slices with the optional addition of cilantro.
