To celebrate summer the CH team recently ventured out on a boat trip hosted by our friends at Atlantic Yachting. Cruising down the Hudson River, we enjoyed a series of cocktails as refreshing as the breezy weather. Below are the three recipes, expertly concocted by bartender Jason Littrell, that we enjoyed while feasting on the sunset views of New York City’s skyline and the Statue of Liberty. See more images from our outing in the gallery.
