Are you planning a Weekend Social? Or a nice picnic style outdoor brunch,, a polo game? I sampled this cocktail for the first time a few years ago at a polo launch party at Alton Lane. My friend, who’s a fabulous producer Matt Paco invited me to his friends store where they were celebrating another year of polo. I don’t play or ride horses, but I sure do admire drawing them.
