Labor Day Weekend may be over but the calendar still says summer for another few weeks. Make the most of it with a refreshing drink, whether that's a non-alcoholic beer after a long hike or trying your hand at a frozen cocktail recipe at home. Whatever you're in the mood for, we've likely got it here at The Manual.

Mini cocktails are enjoying the moment, the product of folks wanting to moderate a bit (or just have more smaller drinks). We're seeing them in bars across the land, from Los Angeles to New York City. And we just got a great recipe from an agave spirits brand we like. Best, the drink plays the nostalgia game and throws some love at the 90s.

If you're still clinging to whiskey like a security blanket once the temperature dips below 70, it’s time we had a little chat. There’s a better, more apple-forward way to drink your way through fall, and it’s not another cloying cider or overpriced cocktail. It’s Calvados — France’s apple brandy that tastes like someone distilled your favorite sweater, your grandma’s pie, and a walk through crunchy autumn leaves. And guess what? It’s been waiting patiently while you've been flirting with bourbon. Let’s fix that.
Calvados has long been pigeonholed as a dusty relic — something your beret-wearing great-uncle might sip while recounting tales of the French countryside. For a while, that stereotype wasn’t entirely off. Calvados did suffer from a bit of an old-school image problem: fusty bottles, confusing regional labels, and the kind of branding that screams “heritage” but whispers “boring.”
But the tides are turning. Modern Calvados producers are leaning into the spirit’s natural versatility, shaking off the mothballs and giving us cleaner, more fruit-forward bottles that play beautifully in cocktails without losing their Old World soul. Bartenders are catching on, and savvy home drinkers? They're starting to stash Calvados right next to their rye, and for good reason.

What is Calvados?

Sure, summer is almost over. But there’s still time to enjoy everything the season has to offer. There are still a few weeks left to sit in an inner tube while drinking a beer and slowly drifting around a pond, river, or stream. You can still spend an afternoon sitting on a dock with your feet in the water, lounge in the middle of a cornfield in a lawn chair, and even have the most epic backyard frozen cocktail party of all time. And while there’s a case to be made for all of the activities, it’s the latter we’re most interested in today.

I get it, “all time” is a bit of an understatement. But there is still time to enjoy a fun afternoon or evening, indulging in frozen mixed drinks. And you don’t have to find a bar that serves frozen Margaritas or Daiquiris. You can make them at home.
