There’s no better way to welcome the start of summer than with this refreshing Meyer Lemon Pomegranate Sour from bartender extraordinaire Anthony DeSerio. Anthony uses an organic artisanal vodka from Crop Vodka because the flavor is sweet and clean, free of additives and chemicals often found in flavored vodkas.
Asked to create a cocktail we'd want to drink with grilled fare, Anthony DeSerio's mind went immediately to maple. But to keep the drink fresh and summery, Anthony uses an organic Meyer lemon vodka and tart pomegranate juice.
