The dog days of summer are the hottest and most unbearable of the year, and it’s no secret that intense heat can lead to intense stress. But few things are more stressful than running a restaurant. This week we check in with Gina on the 11-year anniversary of Buffalo & Bergen. There’s no doubt that operating a successful restaurant is hard work, especially in this era. But whether you’re dealing with oppressive heat or the challenges of running your own business, having a refreshing cocktail can make all the difference. That’s why Gina is helping us all stay cool with a fantastic tip for at-home bottled cocktails that can be kept ready-to-drink in your freezer.
