4 Summer Cocktails - Easy to Make at Home
Sunshine in the PNW gets us excited for fruit season. The inspiration behind this cocktail collection is simple but delightful drinks that you can make at home with a quick stop at your local farmers’ market or your own backyard! We hope you use these recipes as guidelines and not rules - You have blueberries but not raspberries? Use ‘em, it’ll still be delicious.
They say “what grows together goes together.” We source all of our grain and potatoes within a 30-mile radius of the distillery, this means there’s a myriad of other fresh agricultural products at your fingertips around Bellingham that would go great in any cocktail. Keep it fresh and keep it local! There are many excellent honey producers in Whatcom and Skagit counties. Shrubs from Shrub Farm are our go to for adding an extra fruity kick to any drink. Some classic cocktail ingredients we can’t consistently source locally, but we always recommend buying organic and using fresh citrus when possible.
