Spa Spritz

We've already declared it the drink of the summer, and it appears readers agree! With a base of Lillet Blanc, sparkling wine, and club soda, the drink is a light and refreshing sparkling cocktail that is lighter on the ABV. Add in your favorite refreshing garnishes. Orange and lemon wheels, thin cucumber slices, and fresh mint leaves truly make this sipper drink spa-worthy.

Frozen Margarita Mocktail

Our most saved margarita recipe is completely booze-free while tasting like the real deal! This mock margarita has all of the tangy elements you'd expect from the famous drink, without the bite of the tequila. Grapefruit, lime, and orange all come together in this frozen, slushy drink. Serve in a salt-rimmed glass for the full effect.

Cowboy Margarita

Speaking of margaritas, this spicy take on the classic is beloved by readers everywhere. It's the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, while also adding a nice fizzy element from a small pour of wheat beer in the mix. It tastes complex and flavorful and would be the perfect match to any of our favorite cowboy recipes.

Tiramisu Martini

Take your favorite dessert and turn it into the most luxurious spinoff of an espresso martini. Thanks to coffee liqueur, espresso, and vodka, the base is that same rich coffee flavor, which then gets a heavy dollop of mascarpone cream. Cocoa powder and espresso beans are the perfect topper and make it taste just like the classic tiramisu dessert.

Lone Ranger

This drink is still one of our most popular cocktails, and for good reason! It's a spritz made with tequila, lemon juice, and sparkling rosé wine. It's perfect for any type of gathering in the spring and summer, plus you can make a big pitcher if you're having a dinner party! Leave out lemon twists for guests to garnish their own glass.

Prickly Pear Margarita

It's the most vibrant drink around. Let this prickly pear margarita recipe be the talk of the happy hour, with bright pink prickly pear syrup. It leans sweeter than a classic margarita and makes a beautiful standout option if you're whipping up a few different margarita recipes.

Grasshopper Cocktail

If mint and chocolate is your favorite flavor combination, you'll want to save this cocktail recipe as soon as possible! A grasshopper is the classic bright green dessert cocktail that almost acts as a palate cleanser after a meal. It's refreshing in flavor but rich and satisfying in texture. Make a batch of these dessert cocktails the next time friends and family come over.

Bees Knees

This gin-based drink gets its name from the honey syrup and its yellow color from the lemon. It's a great drink all year-round, but we especially like it icy cold in the summertime. Use a high-quality gin in this drink recipe to ensure it tastes as smooth as a drink at your local cocktail lounge.

Bourbon Slush

This drink spikes in popularity around the time of the Kentucky Derby, but it stays in our hearts even as the weather gets warmer because of how slushy it is. It's the best bourbon drink for the pool and one of the most retro in our cocktail recipe box. Save it for now or for the holidays—it's a staple all year long.

Espresso Martini

Espresso martinis are the new classic cocktail, with everyone enjoying them at happy hour and after dinner with a delicious chocolate dessert. It's a crowd-pleasing cocktail that always wows, with the added benefit of a hit of caffeine for late-night socializing. Luckily, they couldn't be easier to make at home!
