What's Cookin'

This is more of a post of cocktails that use herbs instead of food recipes. Lately, herby cocktails have been on my necessities on the weekends, a refreshing change from the usuals. They are also a great way to use up some of the herbs we have growing on our patio this summer. Try one of the recipes below or order one next time you are out for drinks, it will change the way you look at cocktails. Personally I hate those overly sweet ones like apple martinis or cosmopolitans, they are just sugar in a glass. I like a cocktail to compliment what I’m eating or to be something I enjoy drinking slowly while having a great conversation. Check out the links below:
