Stay cool, make Yardbird’s pretty blue floral cocktail
Yardbird Southern Table & Bar’s summer menu is designed to cool you down in the desert heat. The Tangled Up in Blue gets its color from blue curacao, while an ounce and a half of moonshine mellows the sweetness. Elderflower liqueur brings a floral touch, which is matched with edible flowers.

■ 2 dashes of orange bitters
