The warm evenings are almost done. This is how to spend one of the last ones: cold drinks while the sun is still up, calmer things after.
Campari and fresh orange juice over plenty of ice. Squeeze the oranges yourself, it makes the whole drink. Bitter enough to wake your appetite, and you never have to touch the stove.
In My Bar Shelf ↗Grill something simple or set out a cold table. Grilled fish with lemon, new potatoes, dill. If you can get crayfish this time of year, that settles the menu.
Make the coffee outside. Cold brew from the fridge works, or take your time with a light roast pour-over. Fruity coffees taste best outdoors.
In My Coffee Shelf ↗When it cools down, pour a small one. Something unpeated with honey in the nose. Skip the ice and fetch a sweater instead.
If you smoke the occasional cigar, this is the evening for a mild one. Cream and cedar, nothing heavy. No hurry.
