Make yourself a grown up cognac cocktail for National Lemonade Day
Lemons

The first Saturday in May each year is dedicated to National Lemonade Day, as the weather warms up and the demand for cool drinks soars. Kids are encouraged to try their hands at entrepreneurship by setting up their own lemonade stands, and everyone gets to enjoy a refreshing beverage. And as a European, even I must admit that American lemonade, with its sharp flavors from fresh lemons, is truly a cut above the soda-like beverage which we call lemonade on our side of the pond.

If you're looking for a more adult take on a lemonade, though, then you can always try out a cocktail. While there are plenty of classic cocktails which feature lemon juice -- most notably, the whole family of sours, which consist of lemon juice, a little sugar syrup, and a spirit -- there are fewer which take advantage of lemonade. With its bold flavors and plentiful sweetness, lemonade can be overpowering to some ingredients, so you need to use a spirit with plenty of body and flavor such as a cognac.

Whip up this delicious punch for easy Derby Day entertaining
Natterjack Irish Whiskey

If you're hosting friends for the Kentucky Derby tomorrow, then odds are you've already got your mint juleps planned out and ready to go. But if you haven't, no problem! We've got a punch recipe which you can quickly whip up before your guests arrive, then easily serve to please a crowd.

Whilst the iconic spirit for the day is bourbon, this recipe takes a different approach, swapping in Irish whiskey instead. If you haven't tried Irish whiskies before, these tend to be lighter and fruitier than their Scotch counterparts, making them ideal subs for bourbon. Throw in some vanilla liqueur with cherry and tangerine juice, plus a spicy and sparkling hit of ginger beer, and you've got a punch that's fit for the occasion -- now all you need to do is find an appropriately fancy outfit to wear.
