Give me a slice of pizza with a hazy IPA on a Friday night, and I am one happy lady. Wine, I like but can never finish a bottle in a weekend. And I have zero mixology skills — I don’t even own a cocktail shaker! It’s not that I don’t enjoy a good margarita or espresso martini, I generally just save those fancy drinks for the pros. But summer is different.

The “Corona Sunrise” Is the 4-Ingredient Cocktail Hack I Make All Summer (It’s So Refreshing!)

Taste Of Home

Refreshing, light and fruity, this watermelon martini tastes like a warm summer evening. It’s made with actual watermelon juice (no concentrates here!) and the flavor is kicked up with citrusy Cointreau and lime juice, with a slip of simple syrup for sweetness. Vodka is our liquor of choice for this cocktail recipe, but gin can just as easily be swapped in if that’s what you prefer.

The Moscow Mule is a refreshing and flavorful cocktail, perfect for any occasion. Traditionally served in a chilled copper mug, it combines vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice for a delightful balance of sweet, tart, and spicy flavors.

Big, beautiful shrimp get a double dose of flavor with a quick poach in a lemon and shrimp shell-infused broth, followed by a brine in olive juice. Jarred cocktail sauce is infused with gin and vermouth to serve as a “dirty” dip for the flavorful shrimp. Serve it with more olives on the side for a celebratory appetizer. And for a variation, use vodka instead of gin for a vodka dirty martini.

A burnt martini: It sounds like it's going to be served to you on fire — or at least singed or smoking — but that's not the case. While a basic martini is typically made with gin and dry vermouth, a burnt martini informs the bartender that you want some peaty, single malt scotch splashed into your drink.

What It Means To Order A Martini 'Burnt'

Swiss cheese, a burger patty, sweet caramelized onions, and mustard tuck into rye bread before being griddled to perfection for this satisfying sandwich. The onions have a splash of acidity and depth thanks to the Worcestershire and apple cider vinegar, which helps balance the richness in the rest of the sandwich. Adding water as the onions caramelize provides a little steam to the cooking onions, and helps to scrape up the flavorful brown bits from the pan, both of which speed up the caramelizing process. Swiss cheese and rye bread are traditional in a patty melt but feel free to swap in whatever cheese and bread you have on hand for your own variation.

One of the first things you learn when you start studying wine is that some of the most famous wines in the world are named for regions, not the grapes they are made from. You also learn that these wines are often blends rather than made from a single variety. For example, wines like Chianti, Bordeaux, and Rioja are so named for the region they come from and can be made from a mix of different grape varieties.
