Michael Taggart, a bartender at Precinct Kitchen+Bar, knows exactly what people want in a spring cocktail: refreshing and light. That's why he's created the Summer Reign, a vodka-based cocktail with orange juice, lemon, Cointreau, cherry liquor, and pichad bitters, all served over crushed ice. For Michael, vodka is the perfect spirit for spring because it's versatile and can be mixed with a variety of flavors.
