Summer Cocktail Highlight
Hi friends! Who’s thirsty?
Summer is far from over, here at Eat Drink Americano. We’re still sipping patio side and basking in the Los Angeles sunshine. If you are still holding onto that summer feeling like we are, we have some delicious cocktails that taste like an endless summer.

What’s in it: Peach rested Arette Blanco Tequila, Orgeat, coconut milk, fresh lime juice
Your favorite dessert meets cocktail. Nothing brings us back to summer nostalgia quite like peaches and cream so we decided to shake things up and make a riff on the classic dessert. We use fresh peaches (yay stone fruit season!) and rest them in Arette Blanco Tequila for a beautiful fruity hint. Then we make things interesting with a splash of Orgeat. If you are not familiar, it is a delicious syrup made from almonds, sugar, and rosewater, that brings a rich depth of nutty flavor to any cocktail. Shake that up with some coconut milk and fresh lime and garnish with a little black lava salt and you have yourself a drink sure to transcend you to summer barbecues.

What’s in it: La Perlina moscato, gin, fresh grapefruit juice, soda water
We strongly believe every summer cocktail menu needs a good wine spritzer on it so we came up with this bubbly refresher. It’s a gorgeous, airy drink that pairs beautifully with our Chef’s Pick Charcuterie Board. There is just something about cheese and wine we can’t get over this summer. Crafted from hand-selected Italian grapes, La Perlina Moscato offers pleasant aromas of orange blossom, peach, and nectarine. We slipped in healthy dose of gin because it never hurts. Finally, a splash of fresh grapefruit juice and soda water adds a refreshing contrast and a beautiful hue. If you didn’t get the chance to jet over to the Amalfi Coast this summer, we’ve got you covered because we brought a taste of it to you instead ;)

What’s in it: Redemption Rye, fresh strawberry, fresh lemon juice, splash of simple syrup
Meet Virgina, your summer fling you can’t get enough of. She’s fresh and delicious but she also packs a punch. We use Redemption Rye and fresh muddled strawberries to kick things up a notch. Fresh lemon juice and simple syrup lighten it up, making it a perfect kickback drink. We’re pretty sure our ideal summer evening involves sipping a Meet Virginia paired with our Pulled Pork Sandwich. Truly a top-tier combo!
So, there you have it. We’re obsessed with this trio of deliciously curated cocktails and we know you will be too! But just like summer, they won’t be here forever, so hurry over so we can all cheers to an amazing summer together.
Tag us and let us know which one is your favorite! @eatdrinkamericano
See you next time!
