We're wrapping up summer's final long weekend of adventuring with our Italian Crush cocktail.
The last of our summer trio cocktail was inspired by the Sgroppino, a classic Italian cocktail, made with vodka, lemon and lemon sorbet. We traded out the vodka for an organic gin, which brings a botanical taste, using blood orange sorbet to give it a lovely sunset orange color and intensify the flavor.
Now toast your glass to summer and keeping yourself bug free!
