Once you start exploring the world of cocktails, you won't make it too far until you encounter tequila. Of course, there's the classic margarita, but the tequila sunrise is another all-time favorite. One of the most immediately-recognizable drinks around, the tequila sunrise is a no-frills cocktail that combines only a few ingredients, yet it's known for its characteristic appearance. Tequila and orange juice is fine enough, but the addition of grenadine is what gives the tequila sunrise the gradience that it's known for, mimicking the orange-to-red ombre of an earthly sunrise. The tequila sunrise has permeated pop culture, coming to fame in the 1970s and '80s when Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger, supposedly favored them while on tour, and when an Eagles song of the same name hit the Hot 100. But the tequila sunrise has an oft-neglected relative, a drink that comes with promise, but is a little bit harder to pin down.

When the weather is warm, it’s time for rum to shine. And as today is National Daiquiri Day, it’s the ideal time to try out this classic cocktail. Although many rum drinks are on the sweeter and more tropical side, there are other characteristics of rum that are worth considering as well. Some rums can be highly filtered and have a very netural taste, almost like vodka, but there’s been a trend in recent years toward more robust, characterful rums which express their flavors more boldly. A good quality rum should have notes of fruit and spice, like hints of banana or clove, and a white rum should be a delicate, smooth drinking experience.

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.

Steak is a food that's so straightforward in its essence, yet it can simultaneously feel nerve-racking to prepare. Perhaps it's the indecisive nature of selecting common steak cuts and knowing the best way to cook them. Or maybe it's the self-doubt that strikes manning the grill or pan, unsure if that expensive hunk of meat will be ruined by overcooking. Really though, there's no secret; it's all about procuring a nice cut, and following up with a tried and true cooking method.
