With the arrival of spring, green is the color of the moment. From the fresh bulbs popping up to the grassy parks we’ll soon be enjoying for the summer, everything is fresh and grassy — including the cocktails of the moment.

These spring recipes from Matthew and Camila McConaughey’s Pantalones Organic Tequila embrace the green through the use of ingredients like matcha and melon, getting those juicy flavors running to mix with the tequila.

Before we get to mixing, muddle fresh sliced honeydew melon and strain the juice.  In a shaker combine Pantalones Organic Blanco Tequila, your freshly muddled honeydew melon juice, lime juice, orange liqueur, agave nectar, and drop your mint leaves in. Muddle up the mint leaves to let those juices mix and mesh into your drink. Drop in some ice cubes and get to shaking. Pour your honeydew mint cocktail into a glass and garnish with your last mint leaf.

These coffee cocktails are the unexpected summer drinks you’ll crave all season
Summer coffee cocktails that aren't another espresso martini
Mr Black

I could sip on espresso martinis and frozen espresso martinis year-round, but sometimes, on hot summer days, you need something a bit sweeter and fruitier. These fruit-inspired summer coffee cocktails blend traditional summer flavors, like pineapple and strawberry, with Mr Black Coffee Liqueur for a caffeinated and alcoholic twist on your standard summer iced coffee.

Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur, made with 100% specialty arabica coffee, Australian wheat vodka, and a touch of cane sugar, is the perfect base for creating unique summer cocktails with a caffeine boost. My favorite is the Café Colada, a drink that makes a great choice when you can't decide whether you want a fruity, frozen drink or an iced coffee (a frequent predicament I face). Here's how to make three fruity, summer coffee cocktails using Mr. Black Coffee Liqueur.

I tried the Kamado Joe Konnected Joe—here’s how it handled real recipes
Even if you make mistakes you can create crowd-pleasing meals with Kamado Joe Konnected Joe
Pre-heating the Kamado Joe Konnected Joe guarded by with Happy.

I jumped at the chance to test the Kamado Joe's Konnected Joe Digital Grill and Smoker. Like most members of our extended family of avid cooks and eager eaters, I enjoy grilling year-round. Still, my experience has been limited to conventional charcoal grills and three-burner propane grills. I was curious about what it would be like to cook with a ceramic grill, and grew even more excited by the prospect of precise temperature control promised by the Konnected Joe.
Why cook with a kamado-style grill

Kamado-style ovens, stoves, and grills use heated stone or ceramic to provide radiant heat that cooks the food. The Kamado Joe brand of kamado grills cooks with radiant heat, with thick ceramic sections in the cooker. It can take some time to reach the desired temperature, but the grill's heavy insulation retains the heat for a long time.
