Sipping Something at Sundown in Summertime

Local Bartenders Serve Up Cocktails to Enhance the View

By edible MAINE Staff

Summer sunsets slow life down. They invite watchers to stop, sit, and savor the melding colors, long shadows, and quiet peace at the end of a long summer day. Sipping something delicious as the sun moves closer to the horizon can add even more color to the experience. We’ve assembled six sunset sippers using many Maine ingredients that are served at establishments from Cape Elizabeth to Bar Harbor. We encourage you to sample the drinks there, of course, but we’ve also provided the recipes here so you can make them wherever you normally take in the summer sunset. Enjoy.
