Redneck Martini

There’s nothing I love more than returning from a getaway with a recipe to remember it by. 

This weekend fell nothing short of expectations: I learned how to make a new cocktail.

The Redneck Martini may be particularly appealing to those who, like myself, appreciate simpler preparations. Because all you really need to succeed is a whole bunch of beer and a jar of olives. 

Even Simple Jack could pull it off. 

(Ok, I don’t mean to offend anybody. I also imagine it being served at an occasion like this.)

But the point is – with a cute glass and a speared olive atop, cold beer on a hot day gets a touch of class. And every time I sip a Redneck Martini, I will remember fondly the weekends spent laughing, eating, and getting dirty at Tombs Creek Ranch. 

What are your favorite simple warm-weather cocktails?
