It was that, sure, but it was also a watershed, a...

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.

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. The answer to this non-rhetorical question is...

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.

From aged gems to those that go great in a cocktail, these rums are must-haves for your liquor cabinet. What will we do with a drunken sailor? Frankly, I have no idea, however, I think it’s quite clear how said sailor got into that state in the first place. Rum, the drink of choice that spans the spectrum, from pirates to rockstars, aristocrats and students, all have enjoyed this liquor made from fermented and then distilled sugar cane molasses. This historic spirit is currently enjoying quite the moment, with burgeoning new brands popping out of the woodwork all the time. But what are the best rum brands in the world?

When the summer heat hits (and boy, has it hit), I crave super cold, fruity drinks that will quench my thirst. Beyond lemons and limes, I spend much of the rest of the year ignoring the juice aisle. Since I’m not a parent, I don’t stock my fridge with juice boxes and pouches, and after my own childhood ended, I didn’t form a juice-guzzling habit of my own.

Yesterday was the third time this year that an ad stating Chelsea Clinton lives in a beautiful Virginia home popped up on my laptop. My computer did not warn me this was a dangerous site, so this time, I clicked on the link.

Princess Charlotte was just as happy as the rest of the world to see her mom, Princess Kate, out and about at Wimbledon. For Kate’s second official appearance this year, the royal made her way to the All England Lawn Tennis & Croquet Club to watch the men’s singles finals match at Wimbledon. The outing was a triumphant comeback for the princess, who is in the midst of treatment for cancer. As she entered the stadium, she was met with thunderous applause and a standing ovation.

If you like a whiskey sour, you'll probably love a bourbon margarita. In this cocktail, we swap out tequila for bourbon, making for a particularly Southern take on a margarita. For a spicy version, muddle a few slices of jalapeño in the bottom of the shaker before adding the rest of the ingredients. The sweet, smoky flavors of bourbon—use your favorite brand—are equaled by the zest of the lime juice and sweetness of the simple syrup. It's a beautifully balanced cocktail that just happens to go down a little differently than the traditional version.
