Cocktails are definitely in order as we head into the July Fourth weekend. For those who are hosting a holiday cookout at home, The Cooper in Palm Beach Gardens shares two drink recipes that appeal to all: a classic mojito and The Dancing Scotsman, which (surprise, surprise) employs scotch. The latter is also $6 during The Cooper’s killer daily happy hour from 3:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.
Mojito at The Cooper
2 oz. Plantation 3 Stars Rum
1 oz. Demerara syrup
1 oz. lime juice
2 lime wedges
6-8 mint sprigs
Muddle rum, syrup, lime juice and wedges with mint leaves in a shaker. Fill with soda, and dry shake. Pour into a pint glass with ice. Garnish with fresh mint.
The Dancing Scotsman
1 oz. Dewar’s Scotch Whiskey
1 oz. fresh lemon juice
1 oz. honey syrup
2 oz. prosecco
Place scotch, lemon juice, and honey into a cocktail shaker and fill with ice. Shake vigorously and strain into a highball glass with ice. Top with prosecco and add a twist of lemon.
