Video Cocktail: Pucker Up, A Grown-Up Lime Rickey

There are certain events that are so special, they require something very special to drink.

Allow me to introduce you to the Pucker Up, a ginger-bourbon lime rickey that my devoted Sidekick and I created for our wedding last year. That was a really special occasion. I think of the beginning of summer the same way. This cocktail is laid-back enough to go with burgers and deliciously sophisticated enough to be served at a garden cocktail party. Whatever you do, be prepared for your friends to drink more than one.
