Cocktails on the Mediterranean
Connie Matisse may be the CEO of East Fork to you, but to me (Cherry), she’s also the CEO of making delectable cocktails. Inspired by her love of bevies, I’ve put together a few recipes that scream “ITS UNBEARABLY HOT, I FEEL AS THOUGH THE WORLD IS CRUMBLING AROUND ME, AND I NEED TO FIND SOLACE IN SOMETHING COLD AND LOVELY SLIPPING DOWN MY THROAT.”
