Cranberry Daiquiri

This Cranberry Daiquiri recipe is a festive rum cranberry cocktail perfect for Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years Eve, and all the days in between.

Blood Orange Flip

Lately one of my favorite ways to use blood orange juice is with whiskey. Both ingredients have a certain amount of sweetness, but the citrusy sourness of the blood orange helps liven up the richness of whiskey. Looking to add a little depth to the cocktail, I added a hint of honey syrup.

Wake-Up Call: Blood Orange Citrus Cooler

While oranges, grapefruit, lemons, and limes can be found year round, the really interesting citrus—tangerines, tangelos and blood oranges—are at their very best right now. This citrus mix is bright and sunny, and honey softens the tartness from the blood orange juice while adding a distinct floral note.

Spiced Cranberry Rum Fizz

Incorporating the classic flavors of cranberry sauce--tart cranberries, the warm spice of orange zest, and a kick of ginger--this drink re-imagines the timeless flavors of the season.

Drinking in Season: Lillet Rouge and Cherry Cocktail

Cherries are in full force at the market; the only hard part is choosing between deep burgundy Bing cherries and the lightly blushed Royal Anns. To get in the summer spirit, I've been making a sangria-like mixture of the aperitif Lillet Rouge with gin and cherries.

Daiquiri

Rum, lime, and sugar define the classic daiquiri; no garishly-colored slushies, please.

Spring Sangria

Spring has officially sprung and I for one could not be more excited! With all the things to look forward to, sangria is pretty high on my list. Since we're still easing into the season, I thought it was worth taking a different look at the classic summertime beverage.

Don's Mix

This is a extremely simple recipe that will be tastiest with fresh grapefruits in season. Feel free to experiment with Demerara sugar for more flavor.

The Best Frozen Daiquiri

The best frozen daiquiri is tart, fresh, and holds its icy chill. Keep in mind that the sweetness of rum varies, so you'll need to taste your first batch and consider adding a touch more of simple syrup if needed.
