Need something a little cooler to sip from this summer? I got ya covered. So be cool. Don’t be all, like, uncool.

Summer’s made for pitcher cocktails, long icy cocktails, and when it’s really hot… beer in a glass (or just straight from the fridge). Brighten up your home bar while we’re still enjoying those long days.

Stir and Strain is a cocktail scratch pad where your host Elana develops and tests cocktails out of her home bar with an emphasis on seasonal, classic, and the occasional Tiki drink thrown in. She's a believer in making your own bar syrups, garnishes, and bitters, and thinks you should try your hand at it too.
