Since the height of the pandemic, I’ve cut back on a daily 5 o’clock  cocktail hour. Regardless, I have been inclined to periodically imbibe some berries and stone fruit with liquor! First was strawberries and gin inspired by my friend Mel. During cherry season, I started to infuse the fruit in my porthole. Recently it’s been Negronis with strawberry infused gin. That’s a different dimension entirely. Or bourbon and cherries to douse a cake, sounds good to me. Better yet, on the rocks or mixed in a Manhattan?
