While there’s always a time and place for a classic margarita (or one of its many highly drinkable variations ), there’s so much more you can do with tequila. There are also more varieties of each style, from añejo to reposado to blanco, available in the United States than ever, thanks to the agave spirit’s meteoric rise in the past 20 years. In fact, more tequila is now sold in the U.S. than in any other country, including Mexico. Why not make the most of all this agave abundance by getting creative behind the bar? From underrated classics like Palomas and Tequila Sunrises to refreshing riffs on the Negroni and Old-Fashioned , here are the best tequila cocktail recipes.

It does get easier if you’re going to list the top cocktails based on the base spirit alone. If you’re going to attempt to make a list of the top whiskey mixed drinks, we can all agree that (along with the Manhattan), there are few whiskey-based cocktails more beloved than the iconic Old Fashioned.

	The Ponton Smash is a whiskey drink cosplaying as a rum drink. It’s whiskey slipping a lei around its neck and pretending it was always designed for the summertime, and what’s more, it’s actually pulling it off. It’s refreshing and tropical, herbaceous and bright, and the reason it works—the reason this is one of the only tiki bourbon drinks you’ll ever see—isn’t because of an unusual build or beachy origin or some exotic tree-sap unearthed from the Bornean jungle. It’s simply due to the transformative magic of a well-chosen absinthe.Goose Island Just Released Details for Its Cult-Favorite Bourbon County Stout...

The Best New Whiskeys to Drink This August

There are the big names in wine – the Cabernets, the Pinot Noirs, the Chardonnays. Then there are the more obscure varieties that people love to drop in conversation, hoping their knowledge of lesser-known bottles like Scuppernong might prove them to be somewhat sophisticated and knowledgeable. But then there are the middle-of-the-road wines. The ones that fall somewhere on the popularity scale between the big dogs and the no-names. These are the wines that often get lost in the shuffle, forgotten or cast aside, bringing with them a warm, fond remembrance whenever you stumble upon a glass accidentally. If you’re from anywhere but California, Zinfandel might just be one of these forgotten wine varieties for you.

It's time to get reacquainted with Zinfandel.
