Lemon Shed
Courtesy of our podcast guest, Founder at Broken Shed Vodka, this cocktails is a balance of sweet and sour with a smooth and refreshing finish.
Pink Paloma
Maestro Tequilero, Jose Valdez at Partida Tequila graciously shared his refreshing and delicious recipe with us. Be sure to use freshly squeezed juices and of course Partida Blanco. Not only is this a clasic tequila cocktail but looks beautiful in a glass when garnished with a slice of grapefruit.
Tinto de Verano
“Summer red wine” is a lighter version of sangria and a typical warm weather drink, particularly in southern Spain. It’s refreshing and very easy to make with only a few ingredients. Try an inexpensive table wine, either Rioja or Garnacha, as you’ll be mixing soda.
Aperol Spritz Cocktail
A classic Italian cocktail that is served throughout Italy in almost any café or restaurant. Known by its orange hue, the cocktail is representative of “aperitivo” in Italy, a moment to slow down and enjoy a drink and small bites with friends.
Mint Julep
This is the classic cocktail, traditionally served at the Kentucky Derby but is perfect for any derby or warm day. An easy recipe with just a few ingredients is the kind of go-to cocktail we like!
Blood Orange Mimosa
A slight twist on the classic mimosa, blood orange juice is a little more special given its seasonality and complex in taste. A perfect beverage for a spring brunch.
The Aviation
A pre-Prohibition cocktail, originally created by a German-born bartender in New York named Hugo Ensslin, this gorgeous purple hued drink was likely named for the aviation industry’s popularity at the time.
Nor’Easter Cocktail
Cold wintery nights call for spirits to warm the soul. This simple cocktail does the trick with the heat of the bourbon balanced with citrus, maple and ginger.
Dirty Pelican Elderflower Paloma Mocktail/Cocktail
Dirty Pelican is Cultivated’s favorite choice of all-natural, organic mixers. The beauty of using these delicious pre-made, low sugar mixers is that you can drink them with seltzer over ice for a refreshing mocktail or serve with your choice of alcohol.
Apple Cider Margarita
This is a refreshing cocktail that makes use of one of the best seasonal ingredients – apple cider – and pairs it with the quintessentially classic margarita ingredients, orange flavored liqueur and fresh lime juice.
