We've passed our time in quarantine with each other and, not infrequently, with cocktails. We've put together kits that we're hoping you can use to share a cocktail or three with us in at some way. | |||
Toward that end, we made cocktail ingredients from a number of botanicals and spices and put together recipes for four cocktails (one is a great mocktail). We've enjoyed making these ingredients and drinks and we hope you'll enjoy them too. | |||
Because we know that people's bars vary, we've constructed the recipes below so that they require our ingredients plus lemon juice and water. If you've made other recipes using other ingredients, please let us know so we can try them out too! | |||
