We like to think of this refreshing sangria as spa water but with a little buzz!

And serve it with smashed cucumbers, tons of green summer herbs, and sparkling lemon soda.

This punch recipe easily scales down by half, or even all the way to festive drinks for two.

This is one of the strongest, yet tastiest, cocktails we’ve ever created using ingredients inspired by swing states—just in time to help get you through the election.

If it grows together, it goes together: Sweet and sour from the rhubarb and herbaceous from the fennel, this drink is pure harmony.

It just may be the perfect cocktail—especially when you can make it (and serve it) in bulk. 

Go to the trouble of getting all the vinegars for this drinkable brine; you can continue to add onions to it over time, and it just gets better.

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

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.

Try this one out on your Campari and soda lovers.

The ice in this spicy grapefruit cocktail dilutes the drink over time, so you can keep sipping well into the party.

Blood oranges are more tart than juicing or navel oranges; to substitute one of those types, cut back on the honey syrup.

A refreshing citrus sangria that gets bittersweet notes from Suze, a French aperitif.

If you can’t decide whether you want to finish your meal with a coffee or an amaro, drink this.

Amaro and sweet vermouth are relatively low in alcohol, making for a quaffable, refreshing drink (go ahead, have two).

Use this spicy vodka in a Bloody Mary for extra kick.

This light and sexy drink has a little vermouth, a little gin, some fresh citrus and ginger syrup, rosewater, and the catnip of the liqueur world: St. Germain. At the Museum of Sex's bar, Play, it’s served in a peacock-feathered martini glass and crowned with a dried rosebud.
