Golden Hour Cocktail Recipe
Keep this three-ingredient aperitif in your back pocket for festive occasions—it’s as easy to drink as it is to make. Suze, a bitter-floral gentian liqueur, pairs very well with Champagne and candied ginger, which dyes the drink a sunny golden color. For garnish, drop a piece of candied ginger into each coupe, where it will fizz and bubble from the bottom of the glass like the sugar cube in a classic Champagne cocktail.

Cranberry-Maple Mule Recipe
A classic mule (a.k.a. a buck) is made with ginger beer, lime juice, and whatever spirit your heart desires—most commonly vodka. This big-batch, low-alcohol version borrows the same winning combination of flavors but swaps out the booze for a sweet and spicy caramelized maple syrup with plenty of tart cranberry juice. It's the perfect low-ABV drink to serve at your holiday party or meal.

Green Apple Martini Recipe
Call it an appletini if you wish, one thing's for certain: This Jolly-Rancher-hued drink, garnished with a candy-red cherry, is as striking as it is delicious. The appeal of this ’90s-era drink is undeniable. You can switch up this cocktail recipe by trading the cognac for apple brandy, like Calvados, or use apple cider in place of juice. Garnish with a maraschino cherry or apple slices. No matter which way you go, this green apple martini is a crowdpleaser of a drink.

Manhattan Cocktail Recipe
This classic rye cocktail doesn't have to try hard. The standard Manhattan cocktail recipe doesn’t have much to it—and it shouldn’t. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense, old-school drink that’s two parts whiskey, one part vermouth, and a few dashes of aromatic bitters. Both Canadian and American rye whiskey are acceptable here, as is bourbon. Don’t worry if you don’t have a proper cocktail shaker; since this drink recipe calls for stirring, any mixing glass or jar will do just fine.

One-Bottle Vermouth Sangria Recipe
The world’s easiest sangria recipe skips the red wine, brandy, and liqueur and opts instead for sweet vermouth (which already has wine, spirits, and sugar) and fresh summer fruit. All you need is to pour it in a pitcher with fresh citrus juice, club soda or seltzer, and ripe summer fruit. This is the kind of easy pitcher drink you can mix up just about anywhere, even your vacation rental. Feel free to make it ahead of time too.

11 Types of Gin (Yes, 11) and How to Use Each One
Someone once told us that gin is just juniper-flavored vodka. But it’s not quite that simple. So what’s the difference between the different types of gin you might see at your local liquor store? Pour yourself a gimlet, Negroni, or even a Gin Rickey, and let’s get into it. Here's everything you need to know about different kinds of gin and when to use each one.

This modern-classic cocktail is perfect for happy hour: it's simple to make and easy to drink. If you’re new to mixing drinks, this aperitif is a good place to start since it’s an equal-parts cocktail recipe (and there’s no complicated garnish to master). While a coupe is the traditional cocktail glass for serving it, a Nick and Nora glass (or even a rocks glass) would work if that’s what you have on hand.

BA's Best Lemonade Recipe
This homemade lemonade recipe is tart, sweet, and intensely refreshing on a hot day. While this fresh lemonade needs no embellishments, it’s also a versatile base for a host of summer drink recipes: While the syrup steeps, muddle fresh fruit in the pitcher to make raspberry lemonade or strawberry lemonade. If you prefer a bit of sparkle, use some club soda or seltzer( you could even add a splash of gin). Or you could use it to make an Arnold Palmer.

Which Vodka Is Best? A Taste Test of Svedka, Stoli, Grey Goose, and More
A good vodka is hard to find. The best vodka should be a chameleon: subtle enough to turn into drinks but self-sufficient enough to pour over ice and call it a day. That is what we set out to find in this month’s taste test. We tested 11 commonly available brands to find out the very best vodka for your cocktails. Here were our favorite vodka brands.

Negroni Sbagliato
This riff on the Negroni cocktail has had a resurgence as of late. A bottle of prosecco is the expected choice for this Italian cocktail, but cava or any inexpensive dry sparkling wine will do. Of course, you could also continue the tradition and trade it out for something else altogether. Here's how to make a delicious Negroni Sbagliato.
