■MIXING IT UP Late Summer Drinks Summer is coming to a close, which is always a bittersweet affair, but as Dr. Seuss once advised us: “Don’t cry because it’s over, be happy because it happened.” Either way, we still have a few weeks left anyway, so here are two late summer drinks that I recommend SASHA POGREBINSKY making for you and your friends to enjoy the remaining days in the usual lazy summer fashion.
