So put away your winter jackets, dust off your sunglasses, and get outside to smell the roses. Development chef Ben Johnson has shaken up the perfect springy beverage to toast the new season.Three weeks ago, Ben came up with an idea to develop two cocktails, one for winter, and one for spring, depending on what happened with that resident rodent of Punxsutawney. We taste-tested lots of trials and a few errors, until he finally settled on a perfect cocktail for each potential outcome. Watch the video below for more on how Ben created cocktails with two simple themes in mind: winter, and spring.And if you're still snowed in somewhere on the East coast, stay warm with Ben's steamy winter beverage, also called—conveniently—The Groundhog.At ChefSteps, we don't tell you how to cook, we show you—with recipes designed to inspire and educate, tested techniques for successful results at home, and a lively forum where you'll chat with other chefs and home-cooking enthusiasts.
