Drinks & Cocktails

Every great meal deserves a great drink. This collection covers everything from elegant cocktails worth sipping slowly to festive pitchers that keep a party going. Whether you’re mixing something sophisticated for date night or need a showstopping mocktail for guests who aren’t drinking, there’s something here worth shaking up.

Fair warning: Jenessa’s Cadillac Margarita has been known to make people forget they were supposed to be helping in the kitchen. My Raspberry Mojito Cocktail is the one I make by the pitcher every summer — bright, fresh, and dangerously easy to drink. And my Blackberry Bourbon Smash is what happens when summer fruit meets a well-stocked bar.
