With summer just around the corner, I begin to think about clam bakes on the beach and evening cocktail parties on the deck. I always look for new cocktail recipes that I can use as a signature drink. Having a signature drink at a cocktail party is fun to create and share something new for my guests.
There are a lot of recipes for a beachy Southern Belle Cocktail. Many use mostly bourbon, but I’m an Irish girl that loves her Irish Whiskey and it’s smooth taste.
Although I can’t host a party during this time of covid lockdown, I’m still able to sit out on the deck and watch the sunsets sipping a great tasting cocktail and listening to cocktail jazz.
Cheers!
