Cocktail
Classic mojito If you've been growing mint in your garden, harvest it for a pitcher of mojitos. It's the perfect fresh cocktail to help you bid farewell to summer.

Starter
Heirloom caprese salad The bar has been raised for this classic and simple Italian dish thanks to gorgeous sweet-tart heirloom tomatoes, mint-citrus Thai basil and dark, rich balsamic glaze.
