We hit the midsummer wall, like all busy photographers do. So this episode is just a bunch of fun with a little photography knowledge sprinkled in here and there.

This week's featured cocktail: Strawberry Moscow Mule
INGREDIENTS for One
2 ounces vodka, adjust to taste
1/2 ounce fresh lime juice
4 ounces ginger beer
2 ounces strawberry simple syrup
fresh mint leaves
lime wedges
Strawberry Simple Syrup:
4 cups fresh strawberries, chopped
3 tablespoons water
1/3 cup pure maple syrup, to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice, or lime juice
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract, optional
DIRECTIONS
Heat all ingredients for the strawberry simple syrup (except pure vanilla extract) in a saucepan over medium heat. Cover and bring to a full boil, stirring occasionally.
When strawberries begin to soften, mash them with a fork. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook at least 10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool to room temperature. Strain through a fine mesh strainer, discarding the strawberry pulp or save it for a smoothie or muffin recipe. Store simple syrup in an air-tight container in the refrigerator until ready to use. Fill a shaker with ice and add the ingredients for one Moscow Mule. Shake well and serve in a copper mug filled with ice with a lime wedge and a sprig of fresh mint.
