And for the last one, I wanted to bring a little bit of Nantucket home with me.
After spending five days on the island with Alex, I came home inspired by so much of what I experienced there—the food, the fresh ingredients, the beautiful summer atmosphere, and of course, the cocktails.
So for Part 5, I’m making a classic French 75, with a little twist because I happen to have an abundance of fresh basil right now.
Fresh basil, lemon, simple syrup, gin, and plenty of bubbles. It’s bright, fresh, fragrant, and feels like the perfect cocktail to end a 5-Star Weekend. Thanks to @elinhilderbrand!
And honestly… where did the summer go? I can’t believe how quickly it’s going by.
If you’ve been following along, we’ve now made all five cocktails for my imaginary 5-Star Weekend with the girls. And I think we’ve created a pretty good cocktail menu. 🍸
Which one was your favourite?
Cheers to another Thirsty Thursday and to making the most of these beautiful summer days. 💚🥂
