Alcohol & Other Drinks

Our new favorite iced coffee is served on tap and tastes a lot like beer. Nitro coffee is on the rise. Here's what you need to know.

When it starts to warm up outside, these iced coffee recipes are all we want to drink.

We're loving the Birth of Sake, the new food documentary about the art of making rice wine.

The best reward for walloping a bag of ice is this drink—it’s like a grown-up snow cone.

No need to buy preflavored vodka; we got great results making our own.

Carnation malted milk powder, we love you (and this devilish cake) so, so much. If you're using an 8½x4½" pan, you should hold back 1 cup batter.

Making cafe-quality specialty coffee at home just got a whole lot easier. And we don't even have to change out of our pajamas.

You know what people want to do at weddings? Drink. So let them.

Prosecco adds a little bit of a kick to these fruity pops. Avoid the urge to add any more than the recipe calls for—too much alcohol and the pops won’t freeze solid.

This tiramisu recipe is about a delicate touch—especially when it comes to the mascarpone mixture. It will curdle if overmixed.

This is your starter martini. Try it if you want to be a martini-drinker but aren't quite there yet.

Long the sideman, vermouth breaks out as a solo act.

The recipe doesn’t say to add a shot of Baileys, but we have a feeling you wouldn’t regret doing so.

Try this one out on your Campari and soda lovers.

The hot toddy is not simply a mixture of hot water and booze. It’s a miracle worker, a doctor, and a life coach in a cup. And although it does seem to do the trick for everything from a sore throat to a cough, it’s just as good when you’re healthy. This version—from Damon Boelte, bar manager at Prime Meats restaurant in Brooklyn—omits the usual honey or sugar and plays up the herbal and spicy notes instead.

Using these exact vegetables is not the point; choose whatever’s in season and can stand up to being charred. The genius coffee dressing brings it all together.
