- Ice

- 8 ounces gin preferably a less juniper-heavy brand like Hendrick’s

- 4 ounces Strawberry-Black Pepper Syrup

- 4 ounces Campari (optional)

- 12 ounces club soda

- Sliced strawberries and basil sprigs for garnish

MAKE AHEAD: If preparing this drink in advance for a large crowd, combine the gin, strawberry syrup, and Campari. Let guests add ice and club soda at their convenience.

SUMMER MENU ADDITIONS:

Sour cherry soup from Kenny & Ziggy’s

Crispy eggplant tacos from Hungry’s

RECIPE HIGHLIGHT: TEQUILA CURED SALMON

- You cure the salmon plank in salt and cilantro or dill, then pour tequila over it to rinse.

- It’s texture firms and it’s very easy to slice and do all kinds of bruschetta or other appetizers with it.
