Hot Rum And Cider Punch
The Fox and the Grapes
Here, gin (plus pisco and a splash of absinthe) works perfectly with sweet, diminutive Concord grapes, garnished with the edible purple-blue flower of the licoricey hyssop plant, a member of the mint family. Check the farmers’ market or a local nursery for the plant. (The New York Times)
Soul Kiss Cocktail With Blood Orange
In the 1933 edition of “The Savoy Cocktail Book,” there’s no shortage of drinks whose names suggest that they’d be perfect for Valentine’s Day (or any day, really). The book offers two versions of the Soul Kiss, both featuring Dubonnet Rouge, the venerable and inexpensive French aperitif. The Soul Kiss Cocktail (No. 1) uses both sweet and dry vermouths, while the Soul Kiss Cocktail (No. 2) contains whiskey. Here, we’ve combined the best of both, along with blood orange juice to impart a romantic shade of deep, sunset pink.
Silver Fizz
Spiced Colada
Club Cider
The Merciful Knight
White Peach Sgroppino
The Sgroppino is an old between-course palate cleanser, dessert or aperitif drink that marries prosecco with sorbet and a touch of vodka. It’s a simple enough affair once you have the sorbet, in this case made from white peach puree. You very gently whisk the spirit (in this case, peach brandy or peach vodka) and wine (in this case, prosecco) into the sorbet and turn it into a glass, to be consumed, ideally, quickly, while it still retains a bit of the semifreddo intact.
Lemon-Pepper Vodka
Satsuma Mojito
Horseradish Vodka
The Ghazal
I created this drink, which is named after the ancient Persian poetic form, to pair with Middle Eastern snacks. Rosewater enhances the cucumber-and-rose infusion in Hendrick’s gin. A good measure of fresh lime juice brightens it up with acidity, and mint adds more flavor.
The Giving Tree
This holiday-season cocktail is intended as “a cold version of a type of mulled wine, from Nordic or Germanic tradition,” said its inventor, Mike Ryan, head bartender at Sable Kitchen & Bar in Chicago. The red wine lends a nice roundness; the rye gives strength; and the Drambuie provides sweetness and spice, while pulling the drink into Rusty Nail territory. It’s a natural before-dinner sipper.
Pear Cobbler
Washington Cocktail
Kir Royale 38
Rye Rickey
Classic Margarita
Sangria Penedès
La Paloma
Legare Street Punch
This recipe is adapted from ''Faithfully Charleston,'' a cookbook released by St. Michael's Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. It is named for a historic street downtown that honored Solomon Legare, a Huguenot silversmith and Charleston businessman. Regardless of its genteel roots, this punch will be equally at home in a Dixie cup or a silver punch bowl. Either way, drink it over ice, and add an orange slice for good measure.
L'Alhambra
Gin Julep
Lake Delton Mule
This simple drink is a spin on the classic vodka-and-ginger-beer drink, the Moscow Mule. The combination of genepy, an herbal Alpine liqueur, the sweet snap of the Wondermint and the tangy bite of the ginger beer makes for a refreshing summer cocktail. The drink is named after a small town in Wisconsin where Mr. Bartels had his first restaurant job.
