Forget Wine!
In this sweltering weather, we all just need a refreshing cocktail. Below, Ryan has put together his summer favorites:
Corpse Reviver #2
A classic cocktail whose sublime sum is more than the sum of its parts. Just beware, according to Harry Craddock, author of The Savoy Cocktail Book: “Four of these taken in straight succession will unrevive the corpse again.”
1 oz. Plymouth Gin
1 oz. Luxardo Triplum Triple Sec
1 oz. Cocchi Americano(think of it as an Italian Lillet)
1 oz. fresh lemon juice
1 dash Granier Pastis
A few ice cubes
An orange peel
Shake all ingredients, strain into a chilled glass and garnish.
Aperol Spritz
A subtle blend of bitter orange, gentian, rhubarb and an array of herbs and roots, Aperol tastes a lot like Campari, only lighter and less alcoholic.
3 oz. Ombra Prosecco
1 oz. Aperol
A splash of soda or sparkling water
An orange slice
Sgroppino
A classic Friulian (the northeast corner of Italy) cocktail that means "little unwinder [lit. "little unknotter"]. Icy. Clean. Utterly refreshing.
8 oz. Ombra Prosecco
1 oz. Reyka Vodka
1/3 cup lemon sorbet
1/4 teaspoon fresh chopped mint leaves
Pour the prosecco and vodka into 2 champagne flutes. Spoon a scoop of sorbet into each flute. Sprinkle with mint and serve immediately.
