If you like an Aperol Spritz, this is a really tasty twist on it. The Blood Orange Aperol Spritz is just as easygoing as the original, but that blood orange juice deepens the citrus note and gives it a color that’s closer to red. Most blood oranges are a little sweeter than regular orange juice,…
The refreshing Aperol Spritz classic cocktail features Aperol, prosecco and club soda for a sparkling bubbly aperitif. And it’s very easy to make it at home! Aperol Spritz is one of those easy drinks everyone seems to love. Its bright orange look and light, slightly bitter taste make it a go-to for warm afternoons and…
The Strawberry Margarita adds a strong dose of strawberry puree to the traditional margarita flavors of lime and orange. The tart and sweet flavors balance each other in a way that’s just right. And you can play with different ratios on each ingredient to get the exact flavor you want. This is a fairly sweet…
The aptly-named Old-Fashioned cocktail recipe is one of the earliest classic cocktails. In fact, this drink is such a standby that it gave its name to the type of glass it’s traditionally served in, although you can use a rocks glass too. Few drinks have as much enduring charm and sophistication as the Old Fashioned….
You can just imagine how the Blue Long Island Iced Tea drink recipe came to be. Once upon a time, it must have occurred to someone that the Long Island Iced Tea was nearly perfect. Except for one thing: it wasn’t blue. The Blue Long Island Iced Tea doesn’t have the Triple Sec from the Long…
The Safari Juice cocktail is an extravaganza of fruity flavors – orange, melon and a dash of pomegranate. It’s highly drinkable, has enough orange juice to pass for a breakfast drink, and is really refreshing. This cocktail is ideal for hot days – the kind of days where it’s hard to eat anything heavy and…

If you love a fun Valentine’s cocktail, I’ve rounded up some of my favorites, from the classic French 75, to some of my own creations, like the White Chocolate Coconut Rum Alexander. These recipes range from easy-peasy to slightly involved (making a quick simple syrup), so there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re celebrating Valentine’s or…
The KGB cocktail is not named for the former Russian intelligence agency, and does not contain vodka. I just wanted to clear that up right off the bat, because that was my initial assumption the first time I heard about it. It gets its name from the fact that it’s made of Kahlua, Galliano and…
The Azteca drink recipe is one of those very rich, very delicious Kahlua cocktails. But instead of Kahlua’s usual partner in crime – Baileys – this drink adds something special: a dash of orange curacao. Along with that you get some creme de cacao, so the overall flavor is mocha with a hint of orange….
