| What better way to celebrate the waning days of summer than with some spirituous cocktails? Sarah Fleming, Brand Attache for Grey Goose Vodka, shows us that we don't need a wrap-around porch to enjoy a couple of summer cocktails. For everyone who thinks the best way to cool off is with an icy beer or a glass of rose, get read to sing the song of spirits as Sarah combines the best of the white and light spirits of summer (think vodka, gin, and tequila blanco) with their cocktail counterparts, while Taylor Cocalis, Murray's Education Coordinator, pairs refreshing finds in the cheese world to match. | ||||
