Death in the Afternoon
Absinthe, brut champagne, zest of
lemon
"Despite sounding rather intense,
if prepared correctly it goes down
decidedly refreshing on a hot
day. I may not recommend indulg-
ing in five of them in one sitting
as Hemingway is said to have
endorsed, but one or two shared
among friends or co-workers on
a summer's afternoon is sure to
relieve any and all strains of the day."
—Chris Hesje, bartender, Projection
Room, Vancouver
Bourbon Peach smash
Bourbon, lemon, peach, mint
"The Bourbon Peach Smash is
the perfect patio sipper because
it really encompasses all things
summer: peaches, mint, lemons
and, of course, bourbon."
