COCKTAILS READY FOR PICNIC SEASON
Former Tribecan and Frankly Wines founder Christy Frank has created a new line of cocktails in a can called Hamlet Hound. There is a bourbon and cola, with a custom concoction that includes small batch bourbon, lavender, citrus oils and juices, spices and a bit of cola nut. It’s sweetened with honey, molasses and a pinch of actual sugar. And there’s a rye and ginger, with small batch rye, ginger, cinnamon, lemon and lime juice and a bit of actual sugar to round it out. “Nothing that you can’t find at a farmers market,” Christy said. Both are 15 percent ABV — “So REAL cocktails.” Available at Frankly Wines on West Broadway.
