In Season - HERBS

MegBaggottImages

Parsley, sage, rosemary, thyme... lavender, cilantro, tarragon, chive... Fragrant, delicate bouquets set the table this season and the possibilities are endless.  I love to snip up a mixed bunch in my salad for a surprise with every bite.  If you're not afraid of flavor, herbs are so fun to experiment with, so try a new combo and let us know what you discover.

The Garden Gimlet:
Ok, it’s not really a gimlet (gin based), but it is 8 ounces of refreshing paradise, brought to you from Puerta Plata…

-Generous handful of chopped herbs: basil, mint, parsley, watercress
-5oz Brugal Anejo
-2oz freshly squeezed jugo de naranja
-dash of bubbles (soda water), if you so desire
-serve over ice and take in a warm breeze


Cheers!
