imbibe2This post is part of Cocktail Culture’s Drinks of Summer series, in which we will feature light & refreshing warm-weather cocktails.

I’m just now getting around to reading Imbibe’s Summer Drink Guide & I love the sound of this new cocktail from Michael Geist at The Edison in Los Angeles. Haven’t had the chance to try it yet but it sounds delicious. Adding ginger beer to the grocery list this weekend! Cheers!

1 Tbsp. fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
