Coconut Mojitos
Boat deck or roof deck, there’s no better way to sip this summer than enjoying a few Coconut Mojitos.

Charred Cherry Whiskey Lemonade
Charred Cherry Whiskey Lemonade. Grilled or sauteed cherries add great flavor (and a little edge) to these sweet and tart whiskey cocktails. Yesterday, while scheduling out my to-do-lists for recipe-making in the next few weeks (which, by the way, is a very ambitious schedule that’s definitely going to result in lots of How Did I…

Strawberry Sangarita (Margarita Sangria)
When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade. But what do you do when life (or more accurately, overzealous grocery shopping) gives you dozens of leftover strawberries? Well, you still make a tasty beverage, but this time, you spike it. With a bottle of wine. And some triple sec. And tequila. You make Strawberry Sangarita,…
Blackberry Basil Moscow Mules
Eight years ago, I was finding respite from the constant chaos of my apartment (that’s a story for another time) with my upstairs housemates and an oversized bowl of beef-flavored instant ramen. Komal made it for the four of us, because despite being a stereotypical broke and miserable college student– as we all were, at…
Strawberry Dragon Fruit Margaritas
I’m drinking Strawberry Dragon fruit Margaritas today for a few reasons: I’m celebrating the fact that I finally am feeling well enough to function like a real human being after a month of mystery illness. Please say I didn’t just jinx myself. Speaking of jinxes (or Jynxes, I guess), I started playing Pokémon Go along…
Rainbow Sherbet Smoothies
Every time I sat at the bench at the entrance of Sunnyside Farms, that fat, old black dog would waddle over and plop down in front of me, resting his back against my leg, looking up at my ice cream cone impatiently. Sunnyside Farms was my absolute favorite place as a kid, although to us it was…
Caramelized Pineapple and Jalapeño Margaritas
My birthday is 2 weeks before Cinco de Mayo, yet it took me nearly 26 years to realize that throwing a combination party stocked with salsas and overflowing with margaritas would be right up my alley. Apparently, it is also right up the alley of far more friends than I ever thought would RSVP, and now the…
Melon Whiskey Ginger
Before you file this cocktail away under “St. Patrick’s Day recipes” to be forgotten and neglected for the rest of the year, hear me out. Sure, it’s green; and sure, Irish whiskey is a staple of St. Paddy’s day; and sure, you want to drink it right now in honor of your possibly-existent, possibly-distant Irish heritage…
Coquito (Puerto Rican Eggnog)
Oh Christmas drink, oh Christmas drink, how lovely is your rum spike. Oh Christmas drink, oh Christmas drink, you are what true joy tastes like. Of ol’ eggnog, I’ve had my share, to coquito, it can’t compare. Oh Christmas drink, oh Christmas drink, how lovely is your rum spike.
Boozy Blackberry Sage Lemonade
Can you believe it’s already September? Time to start closing up the pool for the year, pulling out our long-sleeved shirts from storage, and waving goodbye to our long, late hours of sunshine. Butternut squash and cinnamon season is just around the corner, but I’m not ready to go full-on Fall-flavored crazy just yet. I…
Sangria Sorbet
You might not be used to your frozen desserts having rules, but this one has three: Must love sangria. Must resist the urge to eat it all before fully frozen. Must not operate a vehicle immediately after consuming, because this sorbet packs a punch.
