The Pineapple Hop

This pitcher cocktail marries a tangy pineapple shrub with hoppy IPA for a result that's the perfect sunny-day party refreshment.

White IPA

A simple, two-ingredient cocktail made by blending strong, hoppy IPA and bright citrusy wheat beer.

The Upgraded Paloma

This summer refresher from Zac Overman at Seattle's Sitka & Spruce is the perfect example of delayed gratification. Put in some advance work to make a rich, almost buttery sweet-tart grapefruit cordial and you have the makings of a whole pitcher's worth of drinks at a moment's notice.

The Bitter Mimosa

There's serious potential for the mimosa outside of girly-drink territory. With a base of grapefruit juice and sparkling wine, this drink becomes much more complex and savory with a dose of Cynar.

Campari Sanguinea

When warm days are chased by chilly evening breezes, I crave autumnal things like nubby sweaters, terra cotta earth tones, and crisp glasses of pomegranate juice with a splash of delightfully bitter Campari. To lighten things up for brunch, a little grapefruit juice does the trick.

Grapefruit Sangrita With Chipotle and Honey

Smoke and spice add depth to bitter grapefruit in this complex sangrita, the ideal sipping partner for a good tequila.

Fresh Grapefruit Radler (Shandy)

A radler is the German word for what is sometimes known as a shandy: a mix of light, cold beer and sparkling lemonade (or, in this case, Grapefruit-ade). You can buy a premixed grapefruit radler but it lacks the pop of juicy flavor you get from this fresh version. Here, the grapefruit soda is made not just with the juice but also the citrus oils from the citrus skin; a dose of lemon juice ensures it's tart enough.

Imperial Royale

A tasty elderflower shandy that says, "stop taking your drink so seriously."

Anthora Pilsner

In Italy, an espresso is often served with a lemon twist. Leo Robitschek of Eleven Madison Park in Manhattan evokes that classic, combining lemon with coffee in a drink that adds bittersweet amaro and caraway-scented aquavit.

Paloma Point (Mezcal Negroni With Grapefruit)

This refreshing drink has more guts than an Americano, more bold flavor than a Paloma, but the best traits of each.
