Summertime is relaxed and informal. I often find my friends like to stop by for a casual visit in the late afternoon or early evening. They often ask me how I can throw together a last-minute cocktail visit. It’s pretty easy.
Some quick bites are Seriously Simple to serve since there is no cooking involved and all that is required is putting them in dishes. And the drinks are a cinch, as I usually have certain items at the ready. For example, I keep fresh mint in my garden year-round, and the other ingredients are staples from the bar, pantry, or fridge.
