It's What's Up Wednesday!

And the thunderstorm we had the other night finished off the last of my peonies, so I guess it’s time for a little post-bloom care. With the end of the peonies, I guess it’s really summer. 

But that’s okay because June brings two of my favorite seasonal drinks to the kitchen. 

Switchel and elderflower champagne. 

Switchel keeps me hydrated all summer long. My dad used to make this tart, refreshing drink when I was a kid, and I’ve loved it ever since. 

I discovered elderflower champagne more recently as an adult. It’s quite easy to make and a great patio sipper.
