It's kinda summer, everybody! And even though it's not as hot as it was on Wednesday, we're still in a springy/summery mood. Thus our choice of cocktail this week is a seasonal choice and perfect for a balmy night. This punch, created by Zero Zero bar manager Joel Tietelbaum, strike a nice balance between sweet, tart, boozy, and bitter, and we can think of nothing we'd rather drink while lying in the grass somewhere, or at an outdoor party on one of many (hopefully) sunny days to come.
