The CUT!

Sunday afternoon I headed out to La Verna, CA to hold a tasting for a summer wedding that I'll be bartending. I originally met the bride (Ashley) through Pam and Gina, a fabulous couple that I bartended a birthday party for last October. Ashley works at the liquor store where Pam and Gina bought their booze, and I'm very grateful that Pam and Gina put in a good word for me ;)

When I met the bride and her husband-to-be for the first time a few months ago, Ashley had said that she was hoping to get one or two specialty drinks made for the wedding. She said that she really enjoyed drinks with fresh ingredients (as do I) and berry-flavored drinks.

For yesterday's tasting, I showcased four drinks: a superberry mojito (mint, fresh strawberries, simple syrup, Bacardi Dragon Berry Rum, Fragoli Strawberry liqueur, club soda), a strawberry basil lemonade (fresh basil, simple syrup, vodka, St. Germain liquor, strawberry lemonade), a berry cosmopolitan (vodka, Grand Marnier, Roses Lime Juice, Pomegranate Juice, fresh blackberries), and a strawberry cooler (Vodka, fresh strawberries, soymilk, simple syrup, and Fragoli liqueur).

While the tasters enjoyed all four drinks, they ended up going with the first two- the superberry mojito and the strawberry basil lemonade. Awesome choices that are perfectly suited for a summer wedding!
