If we had to (for some strange reason) pick only one spirit to mix with, it would be bourbon whiskey. We understand that spirits like gin, vodka, white rum, and blanco tequila are more well-suited for summery cocktails. And while summer is the season in which we’re most likely to whip up a cocktail or two, we believe that bourbon is the perfect spirit for all seasons.

We enjoy sweet, sugary things, but there is such a thing as something being too cloyingly sweet. That’s why semisweet chocolate (or dark chocolate) is so popular. It’s also why cocktails like the Negroni are so loved and enjoyed. The classic Negroni is an Italian apéritif made with...

It is an acquired taste—one worth acquiring, we insist, but an acquired taste nonetheless—and you can think of it as the last stop on the Negroni train. If you don’t enjoy Campari and the Negroni feels like a chore, the Old Pal will feel like that same chore just with somebody punching you in the face while you do it. How to Make a Three Dots and a Dash, the Seductive and Spicy Tiki Classic

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...

Lemon Drop Martini: Liquid Candy Cocktail

James Bond was just scratching the surface of mystifying martini scenarios. If you order or make a classic martini recipe, a series of questions arises before you can take that first sip: Shaken or stirred? Gin or vodka? Dry or wet? Dirty or not? With a lemon twist or olives?

This spicy margarita with jalapeno by Rob’s Home Bar is the perfect drink for those who love the extra kick. Margaritas have a combination of sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami flavors. They are typically made out of three ingredients–tequila, Cointreau, and lime juice, but this version has an addition of jalapeno slices and ginger beer. It is a nice spin on a classic cocktail drink.

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.

The search for the perfect summer cocktail usually takes one of two forms; light and breezy sippers like the Aperol spritz play ball against heftier, spirit-centric alternatives like the piña colada and margarita.

I love making guacamole at home, but it’s usually a simplified recipe that never tastes as good as restaurant guacamole. When I had chef David Guzmán’s guac, I had to know his secret. Guzmán, whom conducts cooking classes inspired by his Puerto Rican heritage and international travels, whipped up some of the most delicious guacamole I’ve ever experienced, but I couldn’t quite put my finger on why. Turns out, it contains the usual suspects—avocados, lime, red onion, tomatoes, cilantro and jalapenos—and one unusual item: orange. This citrus unlocks the secret to the most flavorful, most balanced-tasting guacamole. Here’s why, plus tips on how to take your own homemade guac next-level.
