Weekend in Pictures

This weekend could definitely be called the weekend of the cocktail. Maybe it was to beat the heat, maybe it was because cocktails are fun, but they definitely provided a welcome distraction from talking about the heat for a few minutes while we marveled over the cocktails. Friday night's cocktails were for my friend Katie's birthday. Her husband is a cocktail aficionado, so he mixed up a champagne cocktail with bitters and a sugar cube, and rosemary infused rose wine. Saturday (after a day at the beach) I used fresh mint from a friend's garden to make a watermelon-mint margarita concoction at Chelsea's apartment with a view of the Brooklyn bridge.
