The Corvette Summer cocktail is featured on an episode of the late Anthony Bourdain’s show No Reservations<\/em>. In the episode, Bourdain explores the quirky places and personalities that inhabit California’s High Desert. His companion for this tequila-fueled episode is his friend Josh Homme, founder of the rock band Queens of the Stone Age, who was born and raised in Palm Springs. (Homme and his rock ‘n’ roll friends provide the soundtrack for the episode.)<\/p>\n According to Bourdain, the cocktail is named after a terrible movie of the same name from the late 1970s. This Paloma-adjacent drink features tequila, fresh-squeezed grapefruit juice, tonic water and lime juice served over ice.<\/p>\n Add the tequila, grapefruit juice and lime juice to a rocks glass. Stir to combine.<\/p>\n Fill the glass with ice and top with a splash of tonic water. Serve.<\/p>\n The best cocktail glass<\/a> to use for a Corvette Summer is a rocks glass, also known as an old-fashioned or lowball glass. This short glass is perfect for serving cocktails served on the rocks.<\/p>\n When you’re hosting a big get-together, you don’t want to spend the whole event stuck tending the bar. That’s why we love big batch cocktail recipes<\/a> that can serve a small crowd. The Corvette Summer drink recipe’s simple ingredients easily convert to a big batch recipe. To make batches of Corvette Summer cocktails, simply multiply the ingredients by the number of drinks you plan to serve. Combine the ingredients in a large pitcher<\/a> or drink dispenser. Pour each serving over ice with a splash of tonic water.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you need a new go-to summertime cocktail, you must try a Corvette Summer drink.
