The Mommy Grasshopper.

So many great cocktails, so little time. This week, we thought we'd get a fresh take on a classic cocktail recipe. Naturally, we reached out to those who know them best, aka pro bartenders.

The Mothership is a great bar in Milwaukee. The place resides in the Bay View neighborhood and mixes up some top-shelf drinks. And they were nice enough to offer a fresh take on The Grasshopper, the cocktail that's done everything from feature in timeless bar jokes to shows starring Kristen Wiig.

How to make a Solo en el Sur, a celebratory summer cocktail
Summer calls for melon drinks
Solo en el Sur cocktail.

Summer is officially here at that calls for fruit-forward cocktails. We love this option from Adiõs in Birmingham, Alabama, as it focuses on one of our favorite summer flavors in watermelon. It's a great Campari cocktail that takes on added notes from tequila, saline solution, and more.
Solo en el Sur

A dazzling cocktail, the Solo en el Sur comes to us courtesy of José Medina Camacho of Adiõs. It's a fetching red in the glass and offers the right amount of bitterness to offset the ripe watermelon notes. Which tequila to use? They suggest Altos Reposado. For the watermelon garnish, they suggest fruit that's not too ripe (and you can even pickle the rind).
