Does anything say summer more than a great big slice of fresh, juicy watermelon? As a cool and refreshing snack, watermelon is a staple favorite for picnics and barbecues. But this fruit doesn’t get used in cocktails all that often, which is a shame. While there are watermelon cocktail recipes out there, it’s always a pleasure to see some more. And a new recipe from Eric LeGrand Bourbon called the 52 Reasons incorporates watermelon juice for a fruity, sippable summer delight.

This gin fizz recipe is as complex-tasting as a simple cocktail can get. It’s made with only five ingredients and has a similar sweet-tart character to lemonade (especially when made with a citrus-forward gin). Adding egg whites gives the cocktail a nuanced consistency that makes it as velvety as a milkshake or an ice cream float. And because the cocktail is finished with effervescent club soda, it feels lighter than many other gin cocktails. It’s makes a great porch sipper, brunch cocktail or after-dinner treat.

It’s sweet, it’s rich, and it’s full of caffeine — everyone loves an espresso martini. Though this cocktail peaked in popularity a few years ago, it’s still a favorite drink for many thanks to its delicious, easy-drinking qualities. But if you feel like branching out, then there are more coffee cocktails in the world for you to consider. Of course there’s the Irish Coffee (made with hot coffee and whiskey, and topped with whipped cream), but there are also some more interesting options for you to try to recreate a cup of joe in your glass.

I feel like a kid in a candy store when peach season arrives. Few things are better than eating a ripe peach and it’s a fruit that can be used in pies, cobblers or cake, but it’s also the perfect pairing for a beverage, especially one for brunch. That was the inspiration behind our Juicy Peach Bellinis recipe.

Growing up in Southwest Virginia, I heard adults say that the same people who welcomed Jesus on Palm Sunday were shouting "Crucify Him" less than a week later. We don't know if they were the same individuals, but the principal makes a point that unfortunately, General Hospital actress Tabyana Ali is experiencing.

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.

Mixed drinks are an easy, excellent way to unwind after a long day. For many people, their alcohol of choice is tequila, a spirit made in Mexico from the blue agave plant. It's important to note that there are different types of tequila, and some are better for mixing than others. Blanco tequila, also commonly called silver or white tequila, is a popular option for mixed drinks and cocktails. This type is often bottled immediately after it is distilled, but can sometimes be aged for up to two months. Its taste is citrusy, grassy, and a little peppery. Another common option for mixed drinks and cocktails is reposado tequila, which is aged up to a year and often has notes of vanilla and caramel. Finally, añejo tequila is aged up to three years. It also has notes of vanilla and caramel, but also oak, spices, and dried fruit. It's usually used for sipping and not in mixed drinks or cocktails.
