Crime-themed summer cocktail: Back to Haunt You

Bartender Avalon Nash is also a master mixologist. At the end of each chapter in the Bartender’s Guide to Murder books, she shares a drink that has something to do with the action. She is helped, greatly, by series author Sharon Linnéa and nationally award-winning mixologist Jamie Brydalski.

Here’s a great punch for summertime. Simple and refreshing, it’s from “Death in Tranquility,  The Bartender’s Guide to Murder.” Book three, “Death Among the Stars,” is coming this fall from Linnéa.
