As the days grow warmer and nights in the Hudson Valley stretch just a little bit longer, the time for al fresco barbecues and dinner parties under the stars returns. Just in time for the arrival of spring and summer shindigs, Angry Orchard’s main mixologist Jeremy Oertel shares not one, but six new cocktails for the season.
