A lovely Spring Cocktail! Make your own Citron Vodka by soaking lemons or Buddha’s Hand Citron rind in vodka for a few days (or simply buy citron/citrus vodka). Mix vodka with one teaspoon rosemary simple syrup and top of with seltzer. Serve cold with a sprig of rosemary…cheers!

Some of our best friends from New York came to visit last week and we had a great time showing them our neck of the woods. After a trip down the road to Fogarty Winery, we came back to the house and enjoyed some wine on the deck at sunset. We started with a bottle of Rose Brut, then moved on to Fogarty Pinot Noir. It was a bit chilly, so we got the outdoor fire going. Cocktail hour snacks included: Délice de Bourgogne and manchego cheese with apples, dried figs, artichoke spinach dip, turkey kielbasa, spicy paprika pepitas, pesto caper bites, and a bit of left over marguerita pizza from flour + water in San Francisco from the night before.
