Drinks All

This weekend is all about grillin’ and chillin’.

At a time when anxiety felt inescapable, the cocktails and cheese boards my mom and dad made were my constant.

Doogh, a salty-tangy Persian yogurt drink, is the perfect antidote to a humid summer afternoon. It’s traditionally made with dried mint (and sometimes dried rose petals and/or black pepper), but this recipe employs fresh mint for a boost of bright flavor and color. This drink can be made with flat water, but club soda adds a refreshing fizzy finish.

A concentrated spiced simple syrup to flavor any cold brew.

Summer’s most accessible cocktail is much like the season itself: easy, relaxing, refreshing, sunny, and filled with fruit and flavor.

Chef Omar Tate makes a natural version of Kool-Aid by mixing freeze-dried sweet cherries and strawberries with citric acid for tartness.

Rhubarb comes but once a year.

The Original Margarita with Cointreau plus four thrilling variations by Bon Appétit Editors. 

Other reasons include: whiskey, lemon, and that foamy top. 

Because smoothies are the quickest, easiest way to get in your fruits and veggies.

The BA Test Kitchen’s Smoo Crew shows us the way.

Meet (and memorize) the Lil' Ripper.

The bar at Atomix in New York City combines my two favorite things: Gibsons and kimchi.

A grown-up Shirley Temple with holiday-spiced grenadine syrup, club soda, and a twist. Adding Scotch is up to you.

Celery juice—all the rage! But still kind of a hard sell. This one gets help from apple, parsley, a dusting of black pepper. 

A soul-warming, cozy but complex toddy to get you through the cold winter nights.

A big batch of jalapeño-spiced orange-lime juice that you can top with seltzer or spike with rum. Your call.

A soothing green tea toddy you can drink on its own–or spike with mezcal.

We tasted a ton so you didn’t have to. Here’s what you need to know, and the cans to buy.

This is exactly what we want to drink when fall rolls around—an apple brandy cocktail with citrus, maple, and baking spice notes.
