We enjoy a good cocktail to wind down at the end of a work week, when entertaining or sitting out on our patio. My husband over the years has earned a reputation among our friends for his cocktail shaking prowess.
This cocktail is tasty, a bit sour but makes a refreshing palate-opening before a meal.
