SOMA Living September 2021

DRINK OF THE MONTH THE “SEPTEMBER HEATWAVE” COCKTAIL This cocktail is brought to you by my desire for one last heatwave in SOMA. I spent the Summer at the Shore and pool. It’s time to heat things up! I’m hoping for at least 1 more day of sweltering heat so I can mix up a few rounds of these and drink them at the Shore or around the pool. Add a garnish to this drink with either cured olives or Luxardo cherries. Either would do very nicely! For additional garnish to this cocktail, I looked just outside my house. A few lovely white flowers and a single hydrangea blossom.
