It's Summer!

Beer. The all season beverage. Keeps you cool in the Summer, warm in the Winter, and seems to work the rest of the time, too.

Don't forget a nice kir. Had one (two) last evening, icy cold, beautifully pink, out on the pink flagstone, before the pink marbletop table, surveying the hills.

Or Kir Royale.. Actually that's one of my favorite "starters" for a nice dinner party. Festive and delicious. I even bought special glasses for them.

I had the best martini in my life last night, and it went down really well on a 80+ degree night. It was a lemon infused vodka martini. There were a few choices of fruit, including watermelon, but our server recommended the mandarin orange or lemon. Served in a mini stainless steel martini shaker, this was icy cold and had an intense but smooth lemon flavor. Tasted a little bit like limoncello Could have drunk them all evening, if the one hadn't rendered me a little too tipsy .......

Anyone know how to "infuse" alcohol with flavor? Is it just a fancy word for marinate?
