wants people to enjoy what they’re drinking and to
expand their alcoholic horizons.

When it comes to summery drinks, she favors incorpo-
rating fruits and shrubs — a method of using vinegar and sugar
with fruit. Shrubs come in many contrasting flavors like watermelon
and basil.

“You use fruit and it’s healthy, and you add to it,” she said.

“Whiskey or vodka or you can add gin or rum — you can make
amazing cocktails with shrubs, it’s healthy, it’s good and you make
it by yourself.”
She’s been focusing on a lot of passion fruits, like mangos and berries.

Learning to make your own cocktails comes in handy when
you’re at a party, which happens more frequently as the summer
rolls around, but it can also help you when you’re at a bar,
Yankelewitz said.

Think about when you go up to a bar. You prob-
ably have a standard drink you order because
you know what’s in it and you know that what-
ever it is, you like it. People might be scared to
branch out with their drinks because they
aren’t totally sure what the drink is.

That’s what Yankelewitz wants to
change and why she encourages exper-
imenting with making your own.

“People are afraid of changing their
experience with alcohol,” Yankelewitz said.

“They’re afraid of trying new things because they

don’t know how it’s going to look like. At home, they
can make their own, enjoy it and they’ll know what to
order when they go to a bar.”
Once they learn a few techniques and new flavors, people can
build on it, she added.

“Some people just drink martinis or just wine or beer because
they’re scared,” she said. “Cocktails are one of the most frightening
things for people — they’re afraid to try new things because they don’t
know what’s in their drinks.”
Yankelewitz, whose favorite drink is an Old Fashioned, encour-
ages people to use the summertime to experiment with flavors, es-
pecially the fruity ones, and to see what they like.

Start the summer with a splash with these recipes

If you find yourself wanting to follow in
the footsteps of Jimmy Buffett and waste
away in Margaritaville, try adding some
strawberries to give it a fruity accent per-
fect for relaxing outside. And as a bonus,
since nothing goes better with summer
than ice cream and snow cones, incorporate
that idea by adding alcohol!
