I spend a lot of time working in the kitchen. A lot. Don't get me wrong, I love doing so, but eventually you reach the point of, "Enough!" So, fellow fledgling chefs, let's kick back for some cocktails!
I've made two of the cucumber salads mentioned in our last post, but I've still got one more cucumber left. Cukes just seem to say, "Refreshing." There are a couple of cocktail recipes I've found that leverage that. Adding in a little basil to reinforce the summer-iness and lime for even more refreshment, you can make an awesome gimlet. Or, for something a bit more refined, how about a cognac cocktail?

This week, we will have more blueberries and another awesome cantaloupe. Obviously these two can pair up to make a colorful, delicious fruit salad, but how about another cocktail or two? Fresh berries are an incredible bar ingredient. Something refreshing with blueberries and mint, maybe? Or, for the more serious mixologist, something with absinthe?
As for the cantaloupe, its gorgeous color can be brought to full bloom in a Fiery Torch. Or how about a glowing orange cantaloupe martini?
In any case, hand off your keys, get the blender or the shaker, and let's have a few!
