The Amalfi Mule
The Amalfi Mule. You still get to whip out your hammered copper mugs (woohoo!) but this drink is 93% less likely to subvert your presidential elections. It IS still best consumed while shirtless and on horseback, so don't go messing around too much with the original.
Pucker Up
In my back yard, I have a rhubarb plant that is originally from our family farm in northern Minnesota. It's over 90 years old and I just transplanted it a few years ago. I wasn't sure it would make it but it just loves the new location. Getting as far south as Massachusetts probably seems like retiring to Florida for this plant, and at that age you deserve it.
Roman Lemonade
I've only been to Rome once, and it was during the winter. But if I ever visited in the summer...boy howdy...this would be the first thing I'd drink.
