A good friend left me a voicemail  and said, “I can’t find your Labor Day cocktail on your blog” I have no clue how I forgot to post this recipe summer 2016 ; or how I didn’t wax on about one of the great fruit hybrids of all time Plout (plum and aprium ) Do you have a favorite hybrid food?  If you could create one what would it be ? Anyway, it is never too late to enjoy a refreshing cocktail and plumcot is best.  Cheers!!
