September has arrived bringing with it cooler days. Labor Day is looming (September 7th). Even with masks and social distancing I have managed to host a few small functions this summer where chairs were placed far apart. We served some wine and beer, maybe a few cocktails and a lot of munchies. I have blogged about cocktails before.
I have dabbled in cocktail making but alas, I am not really that great at alcohol mixology. For the Fourth of July, I attempted to make a festive drink with coconut vodka, coconut water, and blue curaçao. It sounded promising in the magazine, but on that very hot evening, the overly sweet concoction did not hit the spot. Lesson learned: not all recipes are created equal. I found the recipe in a magazine. Next time I see a recipe with similar ingredients I will pass.
My friend Martini Marge is a cocktail wizard and whenever she is in attendance, I hand over bartending duties. Always good to let a pro handle the alchol.
