Dear Dave,
Happy belated birthday to Canada.
She doesn't look a day over 149!
A big
part of traveling is enjoying the
food and drinks in the area you are
traveling to. I thought it might be
fun to share some of the tastes of
Mexico and Hawaii from our resorts
in this issue.
I was in Maui on a
Honua Kai FAM recently, and we
were hosted by
Maui Craft Tours. Here is a
recipe for The Summer Schrub
they are featuring from
The Mill House, that perfectly
represents their passion for all
things "craft."
Serve it punch style at your next
summer get together, sit back,
relax, and imagine those beautiful
Maui Sunsets.
1.5 vodka
0.5 oz St Germain Elderflower
Liqueur
0.5 oz Lemon Juice
0.5 oz Home Made Strawberry Shrub
Shake with ice, strain into a
chilled cocktail glass, garnish
with a lemon twist, expressed over
the glass.
It is really the shrub that makes
this cocktail unique! To make a
strawberry shrub, macerate 1 cup
of strawberries with 1 cup of raw
sugar and let sit covered for 24
hours, after 24 hours add 1 cup of
white wine vinegar or champagne
vinegar, mix well, and then strain
out the strawberries. The final
shrub can also be used with soda
water for a non-alcoholic
alternative.
Happy
Travels and Happy Selling!
