Summer is the season of sunshine, the beach, boating on a lake, gentle breezes cooling a warm afternoon…and small indulgences in refreshing beverages.
Actually, it is somewhat biological. As temperatures rise, our taste buds undergo a subtle shift, craving drinks that are both cool and invigorating. We tend to desire flavors that are bright, citrusy and refreshing. And, summer season encourages some experimentation with flavors that are tangy and tropical, making it the perfect time to indulgence in a refreshing cocktail.
One of our favorites that embodies the essence of summer is the grapefruit crush. Or, any of a series of crushes if you’d like to substitute fruits.
Let’s create the right setting…picture yourself on a balmy evening, sipping a vibrant drink while watching the sun dip below the horizon. Of course, you’ve eased into the evening wearing one of our accented Ernest linens.
The Crush you are enjoying is a unique blend of citrusy grapefruit, tangy lime and a hint of sweetness to wash away the day’s challenges. And…a snap to make.
