Chappy Hour: Seven Seas & Sassafras + What the Soul Doesn’t Want

We’re kicking off June with a summer-inspired cocktail and Lorna Crozier’s brand new collection What the Soul Doesn’t Want(Freehand Books); a collection full of Crozier’s signature wit and imagery that explores aging, grief, and the wonder of the natural world with quirk and whimsy.

I had a request this month to bring you a cocktail pairing for Lorna Crozier’s new collection, What the Soul Doesn’t Want. I was looking for something summery but a bit unusual, and decided that a “sea urchin” garnished, sassafras-spiked Seven Seas cocktail would be the perfect sipper for our first summer session.

If you’re getting in the summer spirit, may we suggest reading a longer excerpt from What the Soul Doesn’t Want to kick off summer reading a dash early?* * *And for still more drinks & poetry, click here for more Chappy Hour.
