In the region of Tuscany, between the two medieval cities of Florence and Siena, lie 100 square miles of rolling hills. Called the Clante by the Etruscans, what’s now known as Chianti was Italy’s first modern fine-wine region, and the vineyards here continue to produce some of the most famous wines in the world.

I’m calling it: This is my summer of alarmingly simple cocktails. I’ve already discovered the joys of two different wine cocktails — one with red wine and one with white. Two is a coincidence, three is a trend. My newest summer drink discovery comes via the queen of the kitchen herself, Martha Stewart. I saw a post on her Instagram declaring the batanga the “cocktail of summer,” and since my summer already has two signature cocktails, I thought, why not a third?

We often write about classic cocktails. The problem with this is the fact that we end up writing about iconic, well-known drinks over and over again. We’re talking about the likes of the Old Fashioned, Manhattan, Martini, and Daiquiri. And while we love these timeless drinks, this means some other classic drinks don’t get the respect their due. So, to remedy this, we’ve decided to highlight a lesser-known drink that absolutely should get the same amount of attention as the aforementioned cocktails. We’re talking about the La Louisiane.

Most non-Italians meet grappa—the pomace brandy distilled from the remains of grape winemaking in Italy—at the end of a meal at an Italian-ish restaurant, when the old owner wanders out to say thanks for spending too much money on bad food with a gratis sip of clear liquid that smells like kerosene and tastes worse. But as we all eventually learn, the best things in life actually aren’t free, and the glass that comes at no expense isn’t where you’ll find the best of anything. That said, quality grappa remains one of the best values you can find in the spirits market, considering the time and attention that goes into each bottle, in particular when it comes to single-varietal, aged and cru grappas.

Why Grappa Is One of the Tastiest Ways to Drink Sustainably

A martini is the perfect cocktail for any season, and there are seemingly countless ways to make them. A traditional martini calls for gin and vermouth served cold, but you can play around with ratios of gin to vermouth for different taste experiences (these make up the difference between a wet vs. dry martini). You can also use vodka instead of gin. Don't even get us started on all the variations, like French martinis, espresso martinis, vespers, Gibsons, Cosmopolitans, and so much more. It's safe to say there's a martini for every kind of palate. But have you ever heard of a pepperoncini martini?

If you're looking for an old-fashioned "do not stir" style of blackberry cobbler, you've come to the right place. The batter magically rises up through the berry mixture to become the topping, with its crispy, chewy, buttery edges. As it makes its way up through the berry mixture, it also slightly thickens the fruit for outstanding texture. The no-stirring instructions are important: You want the butter to be pushed to the outer edges when you top it with the batter so the crust bakes perfectly.

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.
