RECIPES: Classic Summer Cocktails
The ever-popular Margarita seems to be a classic with every generation. |
Modern mixology, like today’s fine cuisine, has become a throw-down to see who can create the most complex, fascinating drinks with new flavors and nifty ingredients. In the process of entertaining cocktail customers with new wow factors, many of the classic drinks have fallen by the wayside.
