Nolet Gin Razmatini

Have you tried Nolet Silver gin?  A gin from the Netherlands, brought to you by the Ketel One family.  It has a distinct flavor of rose, raspberry and peach.  There's nothing else like it.

I enjoy a Nolet Razmatini.  An ounce and a half of Nolet Silver, 1/4 ounce Chambord, a dash of peach puree, shake and strain.  It enhances all of the natural flavors of this modern gin.

You can also enjoy this straight up and and strained into a martini glass, and garnish with fresh raspberries.  Light, refreshing, fruit forward and a great summertime cocktail.  Salud!

Lemonade cocktails for summer

I really love fresh lemonade cocktails for summer.  Using the freshest ingredients from your local farmer's market.  We have a plethora of lemons here in California, just juice, add water, agave syrup.

This cocktail recipe is for a Lemon, mint cooler.  Fresh squeezed lemonade, add mint leaves, and Citrus Vodka.  Light, refreshing and summery.  Simpler times to enjoy with friends.  Salud!

Michelada

Michelada is a Mexican beer served with a mixture of lime juice, tomato juice, and spices.  There are many variations of recipes for this refreshing concoction.  It seems like it's a hard drink to find, and have someone make a good one for you.  The ingredients are the key.

I love Tecate served in a glass rimmed with Tajin the original flavor, fill with ice, add a small amount of bloody mary mix to the bottom, a few squeezes of lime, and top with the Tecate.  

It's a great summer drink, perfect for brunch, ideal for a hangover, and so full of flavor!  Salud!
