"I love America more than any other country in this world; and, exactly for this reason, I insist on the right to criticize her perpetually."
-James Baldwin
Dear
Concentrate Readers,
The writers, editors, photographers, programmers and support staff at
Concentrate will be taking a well-deserved week off to rest, recuperate and honor the things that make our country great. We hope you too will enjoy this coming 4th of July with family, friends and neighbors.
Thanks for reading our magazine and please feel free to give us your thoughts, ideas and complaints. My
email box is always open!
In the meantime, enjoy the recipe below for a delicious Fourth Of July cocktail.
We'll see you again on July 15th with a brand new issue.

The Patriotic Cosmopolitan
½ oz cointreau
1 oz vodka
Splash cranberry
½ lime juice
Pour all ingredients in mixing glass half filled with ice. Shake and strain. For a fun twist, use white cranberry juice for a separate batch and add a few drops of blue food coloring to another batch. When serving, your guest can choose from the red, white or blue cocktails.
