Summer is serious cocktail season!

You know how I love concocting flirty little cocktails with an herbaceous twist, right?
How can I not with our kitchen gardens overflowing with tasty fresh herbs. I’ve planted an almost
entirely edible landscape! I have to find creative ways to use what we sow. Delicious herbaceous cocktails
work for me!
Remember my Girls Night In Lavender Martini Drops and Lemon Thyme Drops?

They have one thing in common…
simple syrups with an herbaceous twist straight from my garden.
That’s why I fell in love with this earthy read on the New York Times best sellers list.
‘The Drunken Botanist’ by Amy Stewart, is a fun and informative look at ‘the plants that create the world’s
great drinks!’ And now Ms. Stewart has created a collection of cocktail friendly
herbs and fruits in a handy plant- six pack! I stumbled onto them
at Metropolitan Market! Of course the Mixologist’s Simple Syrups combo pack caught my eye!
Lavender, Angelica, Rose Scented Geranium, Anise Hyssop, Orange Mint and more!
I have sweet plans for these little plants. I’m pulling together a glam little cocktail only herb garden
and you can too! Cocktail dress required.
I’ll be back with the DIY, soon!
I recently saw the ‘Drunken Botanist’ plants somewhere. Now, just to remember where! Must pick up the book!
