Cocktails

Shrubs—an old way of preserving fruits and vegetables with vinegar—add punch to cocktails; this one is perfect for fall, with apple brandy and beet pickles as garnish.

Upgrade that bottle gathering dust in the cupboard with a bit of fall flavour in this simple apple gin recipe (add lavender if you're feeling fancy!)

With our homemade pickled peppers and a fresh stalk of celery, we won't be waiting for Sunday brunch—we're mixing up this spicy cocktail tonight!

As simple as whirling watermelon, limoncello and lemon juice in a blender, once you’ve tried this fresh take on lemonade it will be gracing the patio table all summer long.

Kimberly Steele and Tim Muehlbauer of East Coast Bistro stir up a sparkling sangria in time for patio season.
