SIP ON THIS<br />
Ruffino Prosecco<br />
ABV: 11%<br />
OVERALL RATING: 4<br />
TASTING NOTES: Dry, crisp, fruity, and fragrant;<br />
complex and easy to drink; aromas of freshly<br />
cut citrus with notes of apples, pears, and<br />
peaches; perfect pairing for appetizers like<br />
bruschetta, stuffed mushrooms, and salted<br />
nuts, or alongside creamy pasta dishes and rich<br />
cheeses<br />
PRICE: $11.99<br />
PURCHASE: Total Wine & More<br />
seeds, and ¼ cup water to a boil in a saucepan over medium–high. Reduce to a simmer and cook<br />
for 5 minutes until the sugar has dissolved. Pour the hot mixture over the cucumbers, cap with a<br />
tight-fitting lid, and set aside. These will keep for up to 6 months in the fridge.<br />
2Place the beef in a bowl, season with salt and pepper, and mix to combine. Gently shape the<br />
meat into four patties about 1 inch thick. Using your thumb, gently make a small indentation<br />
in the center of each patty. This ensures they will keep their shape when cooking. Heat a grill/<br />
barbecue to medium–high. Brush the grate with oil. Place the patties on the grill and cook for 5<br />
minutes. Flip them over and continue to cook for another 5 minutes for medium-rare, or longer<br />
for well done. For the last 2 minutes of cooking, place a slice of cheese on top of each patty to melt.<br />
3Slice and toast the buns on the grill, then serve alongside the patties, pickles, and platter<br />
of fixings. Serves 4.<br />

OVERALL RATING is the average score (out of 5) compiled by Style staff tasters. Ratings should be taken with a<br />
grain of salt, as we are by no means “experts”—just hard-working employees who enjoy imbibing.<br />
While Crooked Lane, located in Auburn, offers<br />
a vast selection of German lagers, West Coast<br />
and New England-style IPAs, and barrel-aged<br />
sours and ales, their 1-2 Punch is particularly<br />
palatable. The New England-inspired IPA<br />
offers big tropical aromas, a moderate ABV,<br />
and an unbelievably juicy<br />
flavor that’s exactly what<br />
your summer barbecue is<br />
missing. Peach, mango,<br />
and tropical hops give<br />
it a bright, bold flavor<br />
that pairs nicely with<br />
beef and tangy pickled<br />
cucumbers. With its clean<br />
finish and soft bitterness, it’s<br />
the ideal summertime sip.<br />
