It’s amazing we can even sit here writing this; we feel like those kids whose parents told them they were going to Disneyland way too far in advance. But here goes: Midsummer is only a few days away, and we've been prepping in every way we can. You know, the usual– stretching our livers, practicing our Maypole dancing, and warming up our vocals for a Swedish song or two (we’re not too old to jump around and sing Små grodorna or "The little frogs” FYI). Get ready people, Midsummer is coming and it’s coming quick.
And sometimes pre-partying for the party isn’t such a bad idea. Which is exactly why we’re bringing you a cocktail recipe that is sure to get you excited for Friday. From FOK bartender Jan Warren, this drink has us dreaming about next Friday’s festivities with every sip. So get into the Midsummer spirit with our recipe below, and limber up. It’s almost go-time.
The Midsummer
2 parts Kanon
3⁄4 St. Germain
3⁄4 lemon juice
