It’s official: Summer is nearing its end (sigh!). After a fun-filled season on the water, we were in need of one last boating bash to send summer off in true Eastern Shore style. Just in time for Labor Day weekend, we gathered a few friends, stocked a cooler with our all-time favorite summer cocktails, boarded Rachel and Todd Vecchio’s jaw-dropping 29-foot Hinckley, and set out for a happy hour on some of Talbot County’s most scenic waters. The mood was light, the laughs were hearty—the sting of another summer come and gone too soon lifted by the promise of one last sip and sail.

Happy Fourth! This weekend is all about celebrating the land of the free and the home of the brave in signature summer
fashion—which means patriotic cocktails are an absolute must! We love this super refreshing Peach Pomegranate Fizz made
with Van Gogh Cool Peach vodka. Its subtle red hue from the organic pomegranate juice is festive without going over the top, especially when paired with a skewer of fresh blueberries. So here’s to you America! To freedom, to opportunity, to libations!

Peach Pomegranate Fizz

2 oz. Van Gogh Cool Peach Vodka
4 oz. Organic Pomegranate Juice
Splash of Prosecco
Garnish with peaches and blueberries
