Hello, sTORIbook readers! I’m Misha from FabBites and Tori asked me to offer up a summer recipe or two for you all. I LOVE summer and especially summer food and drinks, so I jumped at the chance to come up with something.
I thought about a new take on margaritas, or maybe some simple whisky drinks, but then I thought of something even better. I recently visited The Brooklynite and thought Jeret Pena, cocktail magician extraordinaire, could come up with something new and completely amazing. Being a super nice guy, he sent me this recipe on the double.
The Missionary
1 1?2 oz. gin
3?4 oz. blueberry drinking vinegar (I bought Hong Cho brand on Amazon – if you can’t find it locally, just check there)
1?2 oz. fresh grapefruit juice
2 slices of cucumber
Tools: shaker, strainer
If you’ve never been to The Brooklynite, chances are you’re not drinking the most adventurous cocktails in the South. Take a trip over there and have a Sazerac, a French 75 or this drink, The Missionary and see what sophisticated beverages are really about.
I hope you enjoyed this beverage! Next, I’ll bring you my absolute favorite, extremely easy summer hors d’ouvre recipe!
xoxo

That sounds delicious! And refreshing. I’ve never heard of blueberry drinking vinegar…I’m going to check it out!!!
Definitely one of my favorite drinks at The Brooklynite! I also recommend trying out the Londinium #3 the lavender and mint really make an incredible fusion of flavor
Oh I definitely need to try the Londinium as well!!
J’adore French 75 at Brooklynite! This looks FAB Misha! And what a gorgeous photo!
Misha is such an incredible photographer, cocktail-maker and blogger! I’m so lucky to have her guest posting!

I’m in complete agreement!
