We just have a few more weeks before fall, which means it's time to bask in the sunny season.
Summer is all about transforming fresh ingredients into beautiful culinary creations – including cocktails. And what better way to celebrate that than by enjoying a freshly muddled blackberry compote in an upbeat drink? Lucy's Julep, available at Lucy's Lot, offers a lighter take on a classic concoction. And it’s light lemon vodka makes it easy to drink. Whether you reconstruct the crisp creation at home or come out and catch a game at their bar, this berry blend is worthwhile.
