Last Sip of Summer
These finely made cocktails can help wring every last drop out of the season.
August will last for only so long, but there’s still plenty of sunshine and fine weather left in the tank. To help you enjoy every last drop of summer, we asked a few “friends” about some of their favorite cocktails that can be made at home: Black Powder Tavern, a popular restaurant in Wayne; and ROOT Crafted, a women-owned maker of artisanal cocktail mixers with ties to the Philadelphia area.
