The one thing about enduring the neverending winter around here is that when summer comes, it’s goooood. Clear, sunny, warm but not too hot, very rarely humid. So we just want to be outside and celebrate every minute.
At book club the other night my friend Theresa introduced me to what’s going to become my signature summer drink. We were sitting outside at a waterfront restaurant which got me in the mood to order a gin and tonic. But Theresa showed me the light: the gin press. Ahh! Lighter, sweeter, and très refreshing.
Then, just to prove what a good friend she is, when I appealed to her the next day after I couldn’t find a recipe online, she found me a video of a cute bartender doing a demo. The trick is that the drink is more commonly made with vodka.
Cheers!
Edited to remove embedded video — sorry, that was annoying the way it played automatically.
