We’ve got some new fun for you friends of our, inspired by the crafternoon movement. Crafting is all about havin’ a good ol’ time, if you ask the Westervins, so why not make a day of it (probably not a weekday) with some fresh tunes and even fresher attitudes (by getting liquored up)! We wanna share some of our favorite craft projects and hobbies with you, and to make it even more enjoyable, we’ve paired each craft with a special cocktail concoction and some musical suggestions. So come along. Take a ride with us to a DIY paradise. But we’ll need to fill up the tank first!
For our inaugural craft cocktail, we wanted to go with something sweet and fun. What we came up with was a boozed-up version of a Shirley Temple featuring one of Sarah’s favorite drink combinations: gin and ginger ale.
Shirley Monroe
1.5oz Knickerbocker Gin
0.25oz St Germain
0.5z Homemade Grenadine (you really must make your own!)
2 dashes of your favorite bitters (we used rhubarb)
Peel of a whole apple
Ginger AlePut apple peel in a cocktail and add crushed ice. Pour gin and St. Germain over the ice and top with bitters and grenadine. Finish off with some ice cold ginger ale.
