Jerry James Stone posted this exceptional cocktail recipe on his blog – cookingstoned.tv – and we just had to share it. This is a special garden cocktail from the Medlock Ames Tasting Room and Alexander Valley Bar.

Located at the intersection of Alexander Valley Road and Highway 128, the bar has been a neighborhood fixture since the early 1900s when it was better known as the Alexander Valley Store and Bar. The bar part was added on during the ’60s where it quickly became a favorite amongst the Easy Rider crowd. And that history exists in more than just spirit at the new tasting location.
