Summer is
on its way, when backyard parties and trips to the beach are the highlights of the
season. For easy and delectable cocktails to enjoy anywhere you go, Fifth State Distillery based in Bridgeport, Connecticut, created the ultimate summer "ready to pour cocktail"
with their newest creation, Fifth State Bee's Knees made with
gin, lemon, and honey. We enjoyed drinking this cocktail on its own as well as
using it as a base to craft other custom cocktails and even a yummy strawberry
sorbet. Cheers, it's cocktail time!

Its wine
festival season in New York, and Luxury Experience was there to partake of the festivities during
the NYC Spring Crush Wine & Artisanal Food Festival presented
by Crush Wine Experiences. Held in the Grand Hall at St. Mary's in New York City's Lower East
Side, oenophiles gathered to experience wines from Argentina, France, Italy,
Portugal, Spain, and from the United States with wines from California and New
York state. Combined with artisanal tastings, it was a perfect Saturday evening
in New York City.

Performances
|
Luxury Experience takes you backstage for an interview with Kevin Connors
and Jim Schilling, Co-Founders of the Music Theatre of Connecticut in Norwalk.
The Music Theatre of Connecticut came onto Luxury Experience's radar in 2019,
and since then we have experienced 15 excellent Equity productions including Sunset Boulevard,
I Hate Hamlet,
The Mountaintop,
Buddy - The Buddy Holly Story,
TRU, Sylvia, Lend Me A Tenor, and so many more. While we only "discovered"
the theatre a few years ago, Kevin and Jim founded the theatre in 1987. Their
story is richly compelling, so sit back, relax, and enter the exciting world of
the theatre.

Ninety Plus Cellars Lot 197
Prosecco Rosé DOC Extra Dry, Millesimato 2022 from Italy is bellissima to drink all summer long. This medium dry
sparkling wine combines Glera and Pinot Noir grapes that give it structure,
layers of nuanced flavors, its elegant rose color, and lively bubbles. If you
love Prosecco and Rosé wine, this elegant Prosecco Rosé is destined to become a
new summer favorite and is perfect to drink on its own or to pair with food. To
showcase its versatility, we created a Prosecco Rosé cocktail and used it in
our culinary recipe for Strawberry Rhubarb Yogurt Cake. Saluti
and Mangia bene!

If an Espresso
Martini is your go-to bar cocktail, you are in for a treat with Fifth
State Distillery's Master Distiller Rob Schulten's latest creation, a ready-to-drink
Fifth State Espresso Martini made with Rum. It's as easy as pouring 3.5 ounces into a shaker, adding ice, then shake
and pour into a chilled martini glass. The 375-ml size makes it perfect to take
along with you wherever you go, to the beach, to an outdoor concert, or simply to
drink at home. With that said, Luxury Experience readers know that we always take
spirits to the next level and created a few cocktails and a culinary recipe to
tempt your palate, and our Luxury Experience - Espresso Martini Chocolate
Tart is sure to become an absolute favorite. Cheers!

Love white
wine but want to try something different? For summer we like to lighten up and
found LaBelle Winery Seyval Blanc made in Amherst, New Hampshire to not only be
delectable, but it also only has 12% alcohol. This crisp, semi-dry wine
pairs well with seafood, chicken, creamy pasta, or on its own. We paired it
with grilled shrimp with mango and green pepper, and it was delicious, and we
also used it in a wine-based cocktail, and it was also a hit. Cheers and Bon
Appetit!

Restaurants

Medi Bistro owned by restaurateur Par Shakiban and Kelly
Murati, opened in the heart of White Plains, New York in
March 2023, where this stylish newcomer's focus is on Mediterranean and
Persian cuisine. The restaurant is gorgeous, the cocktails are
well-crafted and inspired, and the cuisine is excellent; we felt like we had
taken our palates on a memorable journey with their deft use of spices that are
both traditional and modern. The ambience is at once sophisticated and
welcoming, and Medi Bistro is destined to make its positive mark on the
Westchester County restaurant scene. Bon Appetit!
