Cocktails Cocktails Popular Drinks Bartending Culture & History From Colleen Graham, your Guide to Cocktails What a lovely fall this is turning out to be. The trees are beginning to turn, the weather has been unbelievably mild here, and the garden harvest is in its final days. If you are like me, you may have more herbs, fruits, and vegetables than you know what to do with. I have an amazing abundance of jalapenos, tomatoes, and basil, so my drink repertoire of late has been filled with many spicy drinks, a fresh Bloody Mary or two, and more basil-laden cocktails than I've had in my lifetime. If you have a garden-fresh ingredient you'd like to mix up, you might find it in the ever-evolving Cocktails by Flavor directory. Have fun and Cheers!
