Makers Of Minnesota

Emily Vikre owns the Vikre Distillery in Duluth. This is one of my favorite places to spend an evening in Duluth as I am a huge fan of her various Gin varieties. In addition, Emily is the Cookbook Author of "Camp Cocktails" and the new "Family Camp Cookbook"The family camp cookbook recipes are accessible, and fun and really make planning a delicious outdoor camping trip pretty seamless.Try this Strawberry Fields recipe from her Cocktail Book to get ready for the great outdoors this Summer!Strawberry FieldsFor 1 cocktail1 grilled strawberry*Camp Cocktails2 oz. silver tequila3/4 oz. fresh lime juice1/2 oz.
