Refreshing Springtime Cocktails – Recipes

As the days grow longer and the air turns sweet with the scent of blooming flowers, there’s no better way to welcome spring than with a refreshing cocktail in hand. The season is all about renewal—warmer breezes, brighter colors, and ingredients that feel alive with flavor. Spring cocktails are lighter, crisper, and often bursting with garden-fresh herbs and ripe fruit, perfect for sipping on porches, patios, or during laid-back afternoon get-togethers.

From juicy berries and fragrant herbs to floral liqueurs and citrusy brightness, these drinks are designed to be both visually stunning and delightfully refreshing.

In Newberg, Oregon, the Chehalem tasting room offers a charming step back in time. Housed in a historic brick building, it blends Old World character with a distinctly Northwest flair. One of its most charming quirks?

A Tale of Two Buns: The Great American Lobster Roll Tour

The lobster roll is a dish that stirs coastal nostalgia and regional pride, but its appeal has long since escaped the New England shoreline. Once a niche summertime treat, this seafood sandwich has become a nationwide staple — and a subject of passionate debate.

At its core, the lobster roll is simple: chunks of sweet lobster meat, cradled in a split-top bun. But the devil is in the dressing.
