Best Bartender: Jeff Gresko
When Bistro 83’s Jeff Gresko isn’t cheers-ing the weekend every Friday at 6 p.m. (you can follow him on Facebook as he goes live each week), he’s mixing up some seasonal cocktails. His new favorite summertime splash is the refreshing (and hydrating) Watermelon Mojito. First you need fresh mint and fresh lime, then rum (he prefers silver) and finally juiced/blended watermelon. Muddle the mint and lime in the glass, put in some ice with rum, a quick pour of simple syrup and your fresh pressed watermelon and there you go. “It’s pretty damn tasty,” he says. “It’s clean, crisp, and when it’s hot outside, you’re going to want something to sip and cool off, right?”
