Over two decades ago I ordered a Cosmopolitan at The Odeon in NYC. Maybe it was just a magical evening or how the bartender prepared it but to this day the “Cosmo” is my favorite cocktail (other than a Skinny Margarita).

John Daly
Love a cold, refreshing Arnold Palmer? Me too. Last summer I discovered this cocktail version of that famous drink and it makes for a perfect refresher on a hot day.
Hot Buttered Rum
My favorite bar in town serves these on a secret menu just as soon as the weather gets a chill in the air. This one definitely warms you up!
Irish Hot Toddy
The first time I had one of these was on a rainy, cold day at a golf course in Ireland watching the Solheim Cup. I was immediately hooked.
Sgroppino (Untie in Italian) Cocktail
After a big meal on a hot summer day if you can’t decide whether you want a refreshing cocktail or ice cream, then the sgroppino is perfect for you.
French 75 with a Twist
This twist on a French 75 is a hint of indulgence to get you through quarantine.
Aperol Spritz
Don’t let the bright orange color dissuade you. This bubbly and refreshing cocktail is the perfect summer drink to lend some Italian flair to your quarantine staycation.
Ginger Kombucha Mimosa
A refreshing twist on the classic champagne and OJ mimosa, this cocktail is refreshing any time of day.
Skinny Margarita
When you want a refreshing margarita without all the sugar. It’s a simple recipe created by someone near and dear to me who never measures, but these ingredients will get you there.
Paloma
Our nextdoor neighbor has a tree overflowing with grapefruits, and has given us free rein to pick as many as we’d like. As a result, the Paloma has become our go-to cocktail.
