While guests arrive, trays filled with cool, colorful drinks made with exotic ingredients are a great conversation starter and everyone gets to enjoy and unwind! With winter winding down and the promise of spring in the air, consider adding a craft cocktail bar to your spring celebrations.

Our Cucumber Collins is the perfect cocktail for a balmy summer evening! It combines freshly pressed cucumber juice with fresh lemon and lime juice, Rosemary syrup, a dash of vodka and a garnish of mint, lemon and lime. The cucumber juice, pressed in house, is a cool, hydrating summer beverage and mixes beautifully with the other ingredients for a light, tangy, slightly sweet drink. A recent wedding we catered renamed it the “Coster Collins” after their last name, Coster. It was a lot fun and guests loved it!
The Watermelon Cooler is another summer favorite. It’s one of our most popular cocktails and a great thirst quencher for a hot day! Freshly squeezed watermelon juice is mixed with simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, Dolin Blanc, Orange Bitters and a sprig of Rosemary as garnish. Watermelon is your quintessential summer fruit, lending a beautiful splash of natural, bright color to the celebration.
