  • Adirondack cocktail...?

    Our wedding will be in Keene Valley in August and we thought we'd serve some sort of regional cocktail at the reception. Just from Googling around, I couldn't find much in the way of a particularly Adirondacky cocktail -- though there were a few references to a Prohibition-era drink called an Orange Blosson (gin and orange juice), an Adirondack margarita made with apple juice, and a "Canoe Cocktail" served at the Whiteface Lodge, made with champagne, Lillet white wine and Grand Marnier.

    If anybody has any other ideas, please post. Thanks, Will

      Melted snow filled with pine needles with whatever alcohol you prefer.

        we should have a contest.
        we can put the recipe on the calendar.

          Nice idea! How about a recipe book in general?

          Don't know about cocktails, but you have to have Ubu at the wedding!

              Not a cocktail but the first thing that comes to my mind is Ubu Ale.

                I second Rik's suggestion... or the litter-bugs beer of choice - Bud Light. It never fails - empties left behind at car camping spots is almost always Bud farking Light. Now that I mentioned it you'll start to notice... funny how that works. It's like owning a new car - you suddenly see that make/model everywhere!

                    My favorite summertime drink (matter of fact I have one beside me right now) is Peach Fresca and vodka. My own concoction, I call it a "Peachy Keene".

                      Sounds a little fruity.

                            Here's to all the fruits!!

                            I must confess though that I still haven't gotten over the lavender (not purple) tights envy.
