Cocktails Cocktails Popular Drinks Bar Basics Stories & Parties From Colleen Graham, your Guide to Cocktails Look around the market or your own garden this week and you will know that it is berry season. It is the perfect excuse to throw a few strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries into a drink and enjoy the freshest, sweetest fruits of the year. This edition is filled with some of my favorite berry drinks and most of them are very, very easy to mix up. Enjoy, cheers!   Follow me on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and now Pinterest. Drink of the Week: American Collins I noticed some beautiful bing cherries in the market this week and that made me think of the American Collins. It's an ideal drink for summer because it's a refreshing highball that mixes the cherries with an affordable gin and fresh blueberries. The recipe is very easy, which is perfect for the lazy days of the season. Get the recipe...

All you need to do is swap the fresh lime for a few berries, give the muddler a grind, and add cachaca. It is one of the freshest drinks you'll have this summer. Get the recipe...

It tends to be an underused berry and often grouped with raspberries, though it is drinks like this that remind us of their dark beauty. In the New Old-fashioned, fresh blackberries are paired with fresh peach slices for a fantastic combination of light and dark fruits. Add a great bourbon like Woodford Reserve and a few finishing touches and you have a fun, new take on an 'old' drink. Get the recipe...
