Photographers refer to the last hour of sunlight in a day as magic hour. This usually produces the perfect photograph (or instagram) because of the way the glow of the sunlight mixes with the soft shadows. Towards the end of summer, it’s not just the lighting that makes the setting sun ‘magical,’ its also the balance of temperatures.
As the sun sets and the air cools down, you get this sensation of being hugged by the warm sunlight while breathing in the cool air of the shadows. It’s this comforting yet refreshing feeling that is captured with this drink. The ginger beer combined with the fresh mint and strawberries refresh your mind, while the vodka warms your soul.

These songs perfectly capture the spirit of the summery end of the day. Darius’ “Falling in Love” and “Maliblue,” with their upbeat, inspiring tempos will having you falling in love with your own soul. Oxford Club’s remix of Goldroom’s “Fifteen” perfectly matches the jalepeno ginger vodka combination that leaves you “wondering why the summer smells like sin and wonder. Ending the evening with Voodoo from Them Jeans and the beautifully, hypnotizing vocals of Anna Lunoe will help you settle into the darkening sky.
