How to give a classic Ranch Water the berry treatment
An end-of-summer refreshment for the masses
Blackberry Ranch Water.

As summer winds down, the reasons to make a good cocktail multiply. Maybe it's to toast the U.S. Open, perhaps it's an acknowledgement of Mai Tai Day. Whatever it may be, we've got options for you.

Ranch Water is one of the easiest drinks in the book but also one of the most satisfying. Perhaps best, it can be manipulated in any number of ways, taking on different flavors of the season. What's certain is that right now, during the heat of late August and into Labor Day Weekend, there's never been a better time for the thirst-quenching beverage.

The daiquiri deserves better — and here’s why I still believe in it
Put down the paper umbrella and walk away.
Refreshing rum daiquiri

The daiquiri has a PR problem — and frankly, it’s one it brought on itself. These days, the word conjures up an image of something slushy and neon, a sugar-bomb churned out of a machine at a cruise ship bar. It’s a drink that arrives in a plastic souvenir cup, wearing a paper umbrella like a bad hat, topped with canned whipped cream and maybe a wedge of fruit that’s seen better days. It’s the drink you order when you’ve decided you don’t care what’s actually in your glass, as long as it’s cold, pink, and packs enough booze to make you forget you’re sunburned.

A radiant drink for Hispanic Heritage Month
Rooftop at Exchange Place.

There are a lot of great NYC bars out there. But there's one drink in particular catching our eye right now, made expertly at the Rooftop at Exchange Place. The drink is as good as the bar's spectacular views, which include panoramas of the Hudson River and the New York City skyline.

This drink works on so many levels. It's a timely one, mixing up things like peach that we tend to associate with late summer. It's also a great means of celebrating Hispanic Heritage Month, which commences mid-September. It's also just plain refreshing, an ideal cocktail for these last hot gasps of summer.
