Gin and juice

It’s not exactly what Snoop Dogg had in mind, but the Squeeze Play ($7) over at Hook & Ladder Manufacturing Co. does make for a nice sippin’ refresher on a hot day. The cocktail, part of Hook & Ladder’s summer happy hour menu, is just three simple ingredients: gin, soda water and charred lemon slices. Poured over a generous amount of ice, it tastes like a light and bubbly lemonade, goes down real easy and makes for a laid back afternoon of day drinking. Surely, ol’ Snoop would approve. 1630 S Street, www.hookandladder916.com.
