Big Batch Matador (Tequila Cocktails)
For this Big Batch Tequila Cocktails recipe, we used a simple combination of fresh pineapple juice, lime juice, and tequila blanco. To keep it cool, add ice.
Rum Old Fashioned
A new take on the classic cocktail, sure to please even the most stubborn of whiskey drinkers.
Refreshing French 75
My mom turned me on to this drink and boy is it a good one! So refreshing, especially for summer, with a nod to history, and packs a good punch! This recipe is adapted from Saveur.
Rhubarb Bellini
How could fresh rhubarb syrup topped with dry sparkling wine not be the perfect spring and summer drink?! Especially for brunch. Or a picnic. Or just because.
The Derby Cocktail
The Derby is a classic that has somewhat fallen out of favor. However, this brilliant bit of bourbon. This recipe is modified from Ted “Doctor Cocktail”.
Rosemary-Cucumber Gin Fizz
A light, delicate springtime cocktail that works for both the drinking marathon and the sprint. Fair-weather sweet without screaming sugar hangover in the morning, this lovable libation combines sour with effervescence in a classic "fizz" base of lemon, sugar, and club soda; then adds rosemary for an herbal twist— infusing woodsy, evergreen notes to nod to the gin’s natural aromatics while quelling the tartness of the lemon. A cucumber slice, the finishing touch, lends a tangible token of ubiquitous refreshment. This recipe makes 1 cocktail, but the drink begs to be served as a pitcher (the simple syrup, which keeps for about a week refrigerated, yields about 20 servings.) Adapted from Food & Wine.
Pear Vodka Martini
Delicious pear nectar is mixed with pear-infused vodka, simple syrup, and a squirt of fresh lemon juice. This pear vodka martini is juicy, simple and fruity.
Pander's Pomegranate Punch
"It's summertime and the livin' is easy" - just like this drink. Easy to remember, easy to make (and multiply), easy to drink with every menu. Take it to the beach, take it to the pool, take it to the patio - it's the perfect party drink. Even if it's a party of one.
Strawberry Margarita on the Rocks
We love a fruit cocktail made with real fresh fruit. This recipe for a strawberry margarita on the rocks uses real strawberries and no sweet and sour mix.
Dandy Shandygaff
One of the perks of crafting a shandygaff is that you have a wide range of flavor profiles and options from which to choose! With so few ingredients, the type and flavor of the ginger ale and beer will have a noticeable impact on the taste. If you want a stronger ginger flavor, choose a less-sweet (small batch) ginger beer or use a lighter beer. For a sweeter drink, try a mild (commercial) ginger ale. I found a milder amber beer to have a nice flavor but also tried one that had been brewed with herbs instead of hops.
Homemade orangecello
Mixed into cocktails or just sipped on its own if you’re in the mood for something stronger, this Orangecello recipe is sure to lift your spirits!
Black breeze
Thai Pearl Cocktail
I concocted this Thai pearl cocktail on a sailing trip in the Andaman sea in Thailand. It includes pineapple juice, white rum, coconut milk, lime, and mint.
Frozen Raspberry Daiquiri
This recipe for a frozen daiquiri is a homemade slush puppy really. It's fabulously bright pink, heady with raspberries and with a sharpness from the lime.
The Nor Cal Margarita
The Norcal recipe: A simple, refreshing take on a classic Margarita. This drink is a cult favorite in Paleo and Crossfit circles, but everyone will love it!
Beetroot Dark and Stormy
A new take on a classic! Fresh beet juice adds a sweet and earthy note to the rum and ginger beer combination.
Boozy Sun Tea
My favorite warm-weather beverage is sun tea, which my mother used to make in large jars and leave to steep in the backyard during the summer. I was trying to reimagine sweet tea vodka and lemonade in a way that wasn't so cloyingly sweet that merely thinking about it would give you a hangover. The subtle, mellow flavor of sun tea came to mind. The result is a refreshing warm-weather quaff that echoes the flavors of an Arnold Palmer (alcoholic or non), minus the overbearing sweetness, and without the pain the next morning. An excellent choice for daydrinkers who want to last the night, sip this concoction on a deck, on a patio, on a fire escape, on a rooftop, on a stoop, poolside, or anywhere else the sun is shining and summer is in the air.
Ginger-Cucumber Fizz
This is an easy Cucumber Ginger Cocktail recipe, made with fresh ginger, cucumber, lime juice, simple syrup, gin, and soda. Cheers!
Missing in Action Cocktail with Bourbon and Aperol
For this Aperol and bourbon Missing in Action cocktail, I did the best approximation I could, using Aperol instead of Campari and lemons instead of limes.
The Lady Pilot
Named after a scene in 30 Rock in which Elaine Stritch voices an opinion, The Lady Pilot is a play on the classic Aviation Cocktail, known for the color created by crème de violette.
Cold Brew & Tonic Cocktail
I love any excuse to put together a coffee cocktail. Cold brew is a great place to start when making cocktails at home since the process lends to a nice syrupy body and can elevate the perceived sweetness in a coffee. As coffees change with the seasons, have fun experimenting with different coffees as a cocktail ingredient!
The Bee Sting
Spicy jalapeño-infused vodka and lime juice with honey syrup makes this cathead honeysuckle vodka cocktail recipe a go-to in my book.
Vanilla Honey Liquor
Sweet and aromatic vanilla honey liquor, easy and quick to make. It makes a wonderful present, especially for women, I would say.
Honey-Poppy Sour
The poppy infuses the honey with a strong, earthy flavor. As a bonus, any leftover syrup can be drizzled over ice cream or yoghurt.
