Bijou Cafe, 1287 1st St., Sarasota, 941-366-8111.

As Sarasota survives the final hot, humid summer months, nothing is as refreshing as an ice-cold beverage to quench your thirst. Thankfully, we have Bijou Café on our side to concoct some incredibly satisfying cocktails to get us through. Specifically, their Tito Slings the Blues. First, hand-muddled fresh blueberries and lemon are mashed into a glass perfecting equal parts sweet and citrusy. Tito’s vodka is then poured over the fruit and ice, topping the drink off with Goslings ginger beer and a lemon twist. Each flavor different and bold, yet compliments one another for a perfect flavorful sip each time. Take a seat at Bijou and watch summer pass with a Tito Slings the Blues in hand and a friend by your side.
