Well, last night was pretty much a bust at the restaurant. In Portland, when the weather is even remotely nice on Memorial Day Weekend, everyone heads out of town and goes to either the coast or to the mountain for a nice three day weekend. With that said, tonight will probably be even slower, so again I'll be off early and to bed on time.
Sunday and Monday though, I'll be throwing a couple of barbecues. On Sunday, I'll be mixing up one of my favorite bbq drinks, a Stone Fence. Simply good bourbon, good n/a apple cider and a couple of dashes of Angostura bitters served on the rocks, its simple yet surprisingly complex. It pairs perfectly with a warm spring afternoon and grilled meats. On Monday, I'm throwing some brats on the grill, and while most will probably be reaching for a cold beer, I'll make sure that there is a pitcher of sangria handy for those who might want some. If I'm feeling particularly adventurous, I might even make a few Mint Juleps for the crowd as well.
What drinks do you like to make for your summer and springtime parties? For me, spring and summer are the perfect time to enjoy bourbon. Sitting on my back porch, sipping a Mint Julep with my dog at my feet, listening to the birds in my trees is a pretty relaxing way to spend an evening. I hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend.
