Raspberry and Rum Iced Tea

A refreshing cooler of raspberry scented iced tea spiked with rum.

Southern Baptist

Sother Teague of Amor y Amargo in NYC shared this rye cocktail with us, and it's a winner, spicy with lots of fresh ginger and bright from a bunch of fresh lime.

Light and Drizzly

A tasty, low-alcohol take on a Dark and Stormy.

Lady Grey

If your plans for the day involve swinging in a hammock or enjoying an outdoor brunch with friends, make a pitcher of this cocktail featuring mint, ginger, citrus, and black tea.

Partly Cloudy

A riff on a Dark and Stormy; the resemblance comes in the pairing of ginger and rum (and, well, the name). At the Spotted Pig, bar manager Ryan Gannon makes his own falernum: a sweet syrup that uses allspice and ginger and clove and lime zest steeped in over-proof rum "until it gets nice and happy," when it's combined with simple syrup with almond extract; in the drink, it commingles with lime and grapefruit juice along with Mount Gay rum, Aperol, and ginger beer.

Cynar Iced Tea

A super drinkable and surprisingly refreshing iced tea with a bitter kick that's easily scaled up to fill a pitcher.

Smoky Sage Punch

If you find yourself hosting a party this holiday season, surprise and delight your guests with this smoky tea punch.

Mamie Taylor

For fortification, the Mamie Taylor relies on blended scotch, but while this dark spirit can evoke the cooler months, fresh lime juice lightens the spirit's ponderous demeanor, and a spicy ginger ale or ginger beer places it firmly in summer-cooler territory.

Cardamom and Mint Cocktail

The pairing of cardamom and mint gives this cocktail a light, cool flavor that make it easy to sip.

Sparkling Strawberry Oolong Arnold Palmer

It's an Arnold Palmer, which means it's a mixture of iced tea and lemonade. But what really makes it special is the "Sparkling Strawberry Oolong" part. Oolong is a really fragrant, almost fruity Chinese tea, and it gives this Arnold Palmer a lovely flavor.
