I'm so excited to *finally* share some of the photos from the party I hosted with SKYY Vodka last week! It was a magical night - and I am eternally grateful to everyone who came out to support me. Thank you.
This summer has been brutal in New York, and what a treat it was to hang out at the Sixty LES pool all night sipping on frozen fruity cocktails, all Gastronomista creations!!
I know you're dying for the recipes, so here they are:
Frozen Strawberry Hibiscus Lemonade
Created by Gastronomista2 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
2 oz Frozen Strawberries
2 oz Mint Simple Syrup
2 oz Hibiscus Tea
1 oz SKYY Infusions Strawberry Vodka
Blend with ice and pour into a lowball glass. Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a lemon wheel.
Green Tea Pear Punch
Created by Gastronomista
Makes 6 cocktails
4 Cups Water
4 Green Tea Bags
1-1/2 C Pear Juice
1 Cup Mint Simple Syrup
1 Cup Sparking Water
1/4 Cup Pear Brandy
1 Cup SKYY Infusions Pear Vodka
Boil the water in a small pot. Let cool for just a few moments, and then add the green tea bags. Steep for 5 minutes or so depending on your preference, then remove the tea bags and discard.
In another pot boil 1 cup water with 1 cup sugar until the sugar is dissolved. Turn off the heat, and add a handful of fresh mint. Let steep for 10 minutes, then remove the mint leaves and discard. Transfer to a non-reactive glass bottle for chilling.
In a large pitcher mix all the ingredients together and stir. Serve into individual glasses and garnish with a festive straw.

2 Chunks Grilled Pineapple

1 oz Fresh Lime Juice

4 Dashes Memphis BBQ Bitters
Blend with ice and pour into a highball glass. Garnish with a pineapple slice and a fresh orchid.
Guests even got to go home with a goodie bag packed with recipe cards, SKYY sunnies, custom Skyy Straws, and a pretty sweet beach bag.
Big thanks to SKYY Vodka for supporting Gastronomista and throwing this party in my honor - it was such a fun night!
