Memorial Day weekend calls for a better way to drink.
Trade the cooler chaos for something more intentional, like a batched cocktail that keeps the crowd covered and the standard high. Built for long afternoons, second pours, and not missing a moment.
Strawberry Punch (serves 20):
1 bottle
1.5 cups simple syrup
1.5 cups lemon juice
0.75 cup dry vermouth
1 lb chopped strawberries
1L club soda (to finish)
Combine everything except the soda in a punch bowl or pour it back into the Bluecoat bottle. When you’re ready to serve, pour over ice, top with club soda, and finish with a fresh strawberry.
It’s bright, balanced, and made to share, exactly how a holiday weekend should be.
Make it ahead, bring it with you, and raise a glass to doing things the right way.
