The Lemon Drop Martini is a classy citrus sipper that's served with a frosty, sugar-studded rim. It's also super easy to craft at home and tastes like liquid candy. Could there be anything better than a cocktail that tastes like candy? Obviously, this is a rhetorical question for true lovers of both candy and cocktails. The better question is which cocktail tastes like candy without tasting too sweet or, even worse, cloying.

With a name that literally translates to red wine of summer, it’s not hyperbole to refer to Tinto de Verano as a quintessential summer sipper. But it’s not just its name that makes this Spanish red wine cocktail ideal for the warm weather months. You’ll understand after one sip although its practically impossible to stop sipping Tinto de Verano until the glass is empty. Consider yourself warned.

If there were a hierarchy of classic cocktails, it would not be easy to rank drinks like the Martini, Daiquiri, and Mint Julep. Luckily, we don’t have to. We can love them all. 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.

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.
