Spicy-Tart Kale Limeade

Ginger adds heat to this tart kale limeade. Apple juice and coconut water tame the intense flavor—think of this as green juice for beginners—it's friendly, fun, and a little (naturally) sweet.

Bourbon Peach Smash

The Bourbon Peach Smash is a fruity, lightly-spicy, refreshing cocktail that's perfect for sipping on a hot summer night! Non-alcoholic variation included.

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

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.

Balsamic Strawberry Smash

Always looking for ways to bring seasonal finds into my cocktails, I started tinkering with some of my favorite strawberry flavor combinations. The result is a summery take on the classic whiskey smash. Strawberries are muddled with lemon to create a juicy base, then a little strawberry syrup is added for a bit of sweetness and to balance the tartness of the lemon. The balsamic acts as bitters, and then of course a hefty pour of bourbon is added, because what's a smash without the bourbon?

Kale Ginger Daiquiri

When shaken, kale juice makes an especially frothy daiquiri.

Kale Collins

A green take on a traditional gin collins, made with muddled lovage, cucumber slices, and lemon juice.

Tropical Green Juice

Sweet, mellow, and oh so tropical-tasting. If you closed your eyes while drinking this juice, you just might be on a beach in Hawaii, where the palm trees are bright green and the juice is not.

Root for Mint

Yes, you can juice fresh mint leaves in a juice extractor. Mint and lime add a bright flavor to this kale and parsnip drink.

Kumquat and Fennel Smash From Craft

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.
