Mezcal has crept into nearly every classic cocktail template, and for good reason.
Whether swapped for gin in a Negroni riff or whiskey in an Old-Fashioned, rum knows its way around a cool-weather template.
Ginger’s zesty spiciness is built for pairing. Try it in a forgotten tropical classic, a Chartreuse-spiked Penicillin riff and more.
In an age where even the Miami Vice and White Russian have gone clear, shock value has become a requisite part of milk punch’s appeal.
From the Ford Cocktail to the Alberto, there’s a whole world of classic Martinis patiently waiting to be rediscovered.
We asked 10 of America’s best bartenders to submit their finest recipe for the Vieux Carré—then blind-tasted them all to find the best of the best.
The seemingly spartan two-ingredient recipe offers as much depth and infinite variation as the Old-Fashioned.
This fall, add depth to your long drink with miso, celery, bell pepper—even bonito.
The Martini's obscure predecessor has finally found a band of devotees.
A new crop of pink drinks is anything but basic.
