White wine sangria
I opened a bottle of white wine because I needed a 1/2 cup for a recipe.  I also had a lot of different berries and fruit in the house, so I used the remainder of the bottle to make sangria.  It has strawberries, blueberries, mulberries, figs, oranges and lemons inside.  I also added some vanilla simple syrup to it.  When I poured the glasses, I added about 1/3 club soda to make it a fizzy sangria.  It's so good, I can't stop drinking it ;).

Dry Melontini

Dry Melontini has watermelon, watermelon juice, mint leaves and Bombay gin.
I discovered this drink last summer, purely by accident.  I had a very watery watermelon that I cut into chunks and put into a bowl.  When I took it out of the fridge a few hours later, it was 2/3 full with watermelon juice.  So I strained the juice into a cup, thew in some watermelon chunks and a few mint sprigs - and added vodka and ice.  A friend came by and between the two of us, we must have knocked down at least 3 tall glasses of this cocktail each. 

Well, I saw some small watermelons at the Farmer's Market this morning and bought one.  When I came home, I was thinking about how lovely this drink would be with gin.  So I poured some Bombay gin into the bottom of my glass, added the ice, watermelon chunks, mint sprigs and watermelon juice.  

I was right. It's incredible. 

1 1/2 thumbs Bombay Gin
1/2 cup watermelon juice
1 mint sprig (approximately 6 leaves)
1/2 cup watermelon chunks
Ice (to taste)

Mix in a 12 ounce glass and serve cold.

Homemade Whiskey sours

This drink is so incredible when it's made fresh!  I like to mix up a batch of 2 or 4 at a time (depending upon the number of guests I have).  It's a perfect summertime drink.  I'll use either Maker's Mark, Jefferson's Reserve or other higher quality whiskey because it makes the difference.


  • 2 OZ whiskey or burbon
  • 1 OZ simple Syrup
  • ¾ OZ Fresh Lemon Juice
  • ½ egg white


Combine ingredients in a martini shaker over ice.  Shake well and pour.  I like to serve it with a mint leaf and a "drunken cherry."
