Tequila

"Well drinks" just took on a whole new meaning.

This basil-infused puréed watermelon punch will go fast, trust us!

Rose water is the little something that makes this cocktail recipe special.

An IPA beer cocktail with tequila, Campari, lime, and agave nectar. Post-drink siesta optional.

In the fall, make this drink with a fresh fig instead of blackberries.

Fresh cantaloupe + coconut make for the perfect summer cocktail.

Don’t be fooled by the pretty pink hue; Aperol’s bitterness and tequila’s bite keep this slushy from being too sweet.

One easy formula, 9 cocktails.

Margaritas are always wearing their party hats.

Celebrate the beauty of slow-cooked, crispy-edged, meltingly rich carnitas.

A hot pink citrusy-sour drink with a jalapeño kick. 

When in doubt, add soda. The resulting highball (about 2 oz. of any booze filled to the top with soda) is refreshing—and impossible to mess up.

Out of tequila? Never fear: Using vodka instead makes this watermelon margarita recipe just as delicious.

Make it ahead and leave out the seltzer if you want, but don’t add the citrus 'til it’s drinking time.

Attention: Also delicious with mint in place of the cilantro (some people really hate cilantro).

Find dried hibiscus flowers at Mexican grocery stores, or buy tea bags at the supermarket.

If you like the smoky notes of mezcal, substitute half the tequila with it instead. To scale up, increase the drink ingredients only—you'll have enough ice cubes for several cocktails.

For best flavor, head to the farmers' market for peak-season fruit. Freeze in a single layer on a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet until solid.

This bracing cocktail introduces ginger beer to crème de cassis and tequila for a truly memorable combination.

Be sure to taste your jalapeños before you muddle them. They range far and wide on the heat scale.
