The Fitzgerald
A play on the gin sour, the Fitzgerald – a nod to author F. Scott Fitzgerald’s love for gin – is the perfect sip to close out summer. Angostura bitters add a touch of herbaceous flavor to the otherwise bright, sunny cocktail. It’s a great aperitif to kick off a hearty backyard barbecue.
