Smash
Described by bartender Jerry Thomas in 1862 as "a julep on a small plan," the Smash has all the things I love about a julep, with much less of the hassle. And even better, the smash is flexible: While forests have been decimated to create the paper on which countless screeds concerning the One True Way to make a julep have been printed, the Smash can go whichever way you choose--it's equally good made with bourbon, rye, brandy, or a good aged rum.

When incorporating persimmons into seasonal cocktails, the first step is to make a purée. This slightly thick, bright orange liquid that has notes of sweet earthiness.

It's the kind of drink that will keep you on your toes.
Fizzy Gin and Lillet Punch

Kale Pineapple Basil Smash
Muddled fresh basil, fresh pineapple juice, kale juice, and rye combine for a delicious sweet-tart, herbaceous green smash.
Pomelo and Basil Cocktail
I like to pair pomelo with herbal flavors, especially basil. The slight sweetness of both the pomelo and basil work really well together, but they're both able to hold their own and bring depth to a cocktail
When we mixed this up in the office, AHT editor and photographer extraordinaire Robyn Lee said: "What is that? That looks like a salad..." Appearances aside, it's delicious to drink (and chew.) Be sure to muddle well to make sure the fennel flavor translates into the drink.

Browned Brussels With Maple Butter From 'Choosing Sides'
Brussels sprouts are a given on my Thanksgiving table, but I don't always give them much thought. Olive oil, salt, and a hot oven are my only requirements.
