The signs are everywhere, spring is finally in sight and, beyond many other things, it is time to switch out our drink routines. For spring we tend to go with light, refreshing cocktails that are filled with the tastes of the season and there are plenty of recipes to choose from. These are a few of my personal favorites.
Cherry Lane (pictured) - Made with one of the few cherry vodkas that do not remind me of cold season, this is a lovely transitional cocktail that doesn't rely too much on fresh ingredients, but leaves you with the feeling of the season anyway. Grey Goose Cherry Noir and Benedictine are the stars of this drink.
Herb's Mary Rose Martini - This fun 'tini' is worth every moment of the week's anticipation that the rosemary-infused vodka requires. Once you get through that, simply shake it up with creme de cassis and cranberry juice, topping it off with soda for a little sparkle.
Good Luck Charm - If dark spirits are your thing no matter what the season, here is a springy bourbon drink that is a perfect transition. It mixes bourbon with lemoncello, sour, and fresh mint and it is every bit as delicious as it sounds.
10 Great Cocktails for Spring - Whenever one of these drinks are in front of me I am instantly transported to the warming days of this season of rejuvenation. Fresh herbs and seasonal fruits fill these drinks with that perfect spring accent.
