Summer is (finally) upon us!
Whether you’ve spent the day at a chic rooftop party or sunbathing, there’s no better way to close out a hot summer’s night than with a cool and refreshing nightcap.
People typically think of nightcaps as a stiff brandy or bourbon served neat, but a midsummer nightcap can and should be refreshing and light.
Try an antioxidant-filled juice drink or a calming herb cocktail shaken or stirred with the all-natural, 100% gluten free Ménage à Trois Vodka.
Cheers!

Citrus Fizz, Created by Jaime Rios, Bartender, Top of the Standard & Tavern on the Green
This libation uses milk instead of heavy cream, which not makes it a lower calorie option, but the milk is soothing and the orange, lemon and lime flavors really shine through to make it the ultimate summer nightcap.
2 parts Ménage à Trois Citrus Vodka
1 part Milk
¾ parts Simple Syrup
1 part Lemon Juice
1 Egg White
3 drops orange flower water
Combine all ingredients into mixing tin and shake vigorously for three seconds without ice to emulsify the egg white. Add ice and shake for another 8-10 seconds. Strain into chilled coupe glass. Garnish with Angostura mist and orange zest.
