What’s the point of having a nice bar if you aren’t whipping up
fabulous drinks? Consider adding these seasonal cocktails (all new spins
on classics) to your repertoire—they’ll warm you from the inside out.Rim only
half of the
glass in
salt to
complement
this sweet-
meets-tangy
drink.A single
giant ice
cube melts
more slowly
than a
few smaller
ones, so
drinks get
less
diluted.GLORIOUS GARNISHES
A drink topper is more than
just decoration—each adds
its own flavorful flourish.SWEET
Perfect for a Manhat-
tan, old fashioned,
or daiquiri. Use bourbon-
soaked cherries
(shown), or sour ones
in syrup—anything
but maraschinos doused
in Red Dye #40.nishes lend a savory,
lip-smacking bite to
martinis. Try caper-
berries, cocktail
onions, stuffed olives,
or tomolives.LAZY MAN’S COCKTAIL
