Mint is always the first herb to return in the spring and it finds its way into many dishes and classic cocktails around our house. While it's a no-fail summer cocktail, the mint julep is the first spring tipple we turn to when the weather warms up. Homemade mint-infused simple syrup makes this easy-to-mix cocktail a springtime standard.
Far and away our favorite cocktail, the Manhattan is the perfect playground for bitters. A few dashes of bitters transform this classic and solidify it as our go-to cocktail.
