Upon first taste, you'll see why it was such a crowd-pleaser. It's a sunny, warming drink, thanks to pineapple's heady tropical flavor and a spicy cinnamon simple syrup, all perked up with grapefruit, lime, and piney gin. -- There's no need to get out a juicer for this; just muddle a 2- to 3-inch chunk of fresh pineapple and strain through a fine-mesh strainer into your measuring cup or jigger. This drink would be totally at home at a tiki party; you can multiply the recipe (and make fresh pineapple juice by whirring chopped fruit in your blender, then straining), but don't try to shake more than two drinks at a time.

The literal translation of the name of this drink is "the Virgin's tears," as the red color of the beets resembles tears of blood said to have been shed by the Virgin Mary. This beverage originated in the state of Guanajuato, maybe as long ago as the end of the sixteenth century. I found a few different variations, but this one seemed to be the most common, and it's quite special. Although this beverage is customarily prepared during Lent for the festivities of Friday of Sorrows (the Friday before Good Friday), it's a wonderful drink during fall, when beets and apples abound. This recipe makes a large batch to share at your next gathering.

The classic Tequila Cocktail was created in 1949 to satisfy the jet setting crowd, who had their first tastes of the agave spirit during trips to Mexico, which at the time was an exotic and popular travel destination. This cocktail is a new twist on that old favorite, minimizing the lime, but adding the fragrant, lovely Cointreau.

Photography copyright: Kelly Puleio © 2018 -------- I adore this fragrant and refreshing strawberry-gin drink, created by Shannon Tebay Sidle of New York's Slowly Shirley and Death & Co. The secret ingredient is a dollop of unsweetened Greek yogurt, which gives the cocktail a tangy flavor and subtly creamy texture. The final result isn't sweet or smoothie-like; this is definitely still a cocktail. A sprinkle of freshly ground black pepper highlights the gin's herbal character, but I also like this drink with grassy blanco tequila or a full-bodied aged rum. If your fridge doesn't dispense crushed ice, fill a freezer bag with cubes, wrap them in a dish towel, and go wild with a meat tenderizer or rolling pin.

This spin on the gimlet is no exception: shaking shaved fennel and muddled arugula into the drink gives it an anise-and-pepper flavor that's ideal for serving with seafood or light pasta dishes.

Photography copyright: Kelly Puleio © 2018 ------ Coconut and gin have a strange but undeniable affinity: the richness of the former craves the freshness of the latter. And while time-intensive infusions and syrups are often required to give a drink some spice, this concoction from Collin Nicholas of Bellota in San Francisco gets its alluringly complex flavor profile from the simple addition of ground curry powder, a packaged blend that often includes warming spices like turmeric, cumin, cinnamon, and ginger. All you have to do is spoon the spice mix in and shake well to get a little foam going, then serve over a big ice cube. This drink is also fantastic with floral pisco or herb-tinged blanco tequila. Note that you shouldn't be using sweetened Coco López or regular coconut milk here. Look for thick, rich, unsweetened coconut cream in the Asian foods aisle of your supermarket; it's available in both canned and boxed versions.
