SignatureMT | 21 Bottle of the Sexes SUMMERTIME DIFFERENCES Urban Affairs WHOLLY SPIRITS Text by Heather Palermo & Cory Crawford • Photography by Jesse Martinez "S ummer, summer, summer- time… time to sit back and unwind." Ok, who knows these lyrics? Fresh Prince, of course. Summertime in Mon - tana is amazing. Long, warm days, perfect nights – what a great time for some refreshing adult beverages. What are your favorites in the summer? Below are some of ours for you to try. Once again, I am starting off with one word – vodka. Vodka drinks in the summer are cool and refreshing from the basic vod - ka and soda (or tonic) with a lemon (or lime) to boozy Arnold Palmer's to Moscow Mules. While there are many drinks to choose from, one I happened to have in Helena, a while back, is a favorite. Back when Gulch Distillers was Triple Divide, I had their "Standard House" drink. They still serve it, only now with Triple Divide Vodka. It is super refreshing and perfect on the river or on your best friend's deck while watching the sunset. INGREDIENTS: • 2 oz Triple Divide Vodka (any vodka will work) • ¾ oz of Ginger Syrup • ¾ oz of Lemon Juice • ½ oz of Honey Syrup • 1 dash of Lavender Bitters • Put all of these in a shaker with ice and shake. • Pour in to a Collins glass, or a red solo cup, and top with soda. Garnish with a lemon wedge. Wondering about the Ginger and Honey Syrup? These are easy to make at home (which the husband did for me). Basically, you need water, sugar and the ginger/ honey and bring it all to a boil. For more de - tailed recipes, search them up on Google. Lavender bitters are a bit harder to find but can be ordered online. Meanwhile, back on the farm…be - cause that is pretty much all I do during the warmer months. While my lovely wife is gallivanting about the state, trying tasty new libations and enjoying the sunshine, I find myself getting lots of equally enjoyable time driving around in big boy toys – tractors, sprayers, trucks, combines, and the like. But life cannot be all work, and I find myself grilling and chilling in the evenings; maximal flavor and minimal work, aka dish - es.
