Golden Daiquiri: The original daiquiri was just rum, sugar, limes and ice; the fruity frozen daiquiri didn't become popular until the advent of the home blender in the 1950s. We've melded the two, adding raspberries for flavor and golden rum and dark brown sugar for mellow, muted sweetness.

Plum Caipirinha: The caipirinha, a combination of rum-like cachaca, limes and sugar, is considered Brazil's national drink. Poached plums add depth of flavor and sangria-like texture to make a perfect party sipper.

Michelada: As counterintuitive as it may seem to add salt, hot sauce and Worcestershire to your beer, versions of this drink are popular all over Mexico. The salt sharpens the flavor; the lime brightens it; and the hot sauce and Worcestershire spice it up, making it a natural for barbecues, tacos or just hot days.

Orange Creamezcal: When was the last time you had an ice cream float? This one is rich, refreshing, and, thanks to mezcal, unmistakably grown-up. Mezcal is bolder-tasting and a bit smokier than tequila, and a natural with sweet orange soda.

Gin & Tonic Jellies: There's nothing we like more than the genteel — unless it's the raucous. These shots neatly combine the two; serve them with demitasse spoons (the genteel) or come up with your own, more creative way (the raucous).

Pisco Sour: Sours are a summer classic. This one is made with Pisco, a grape-based brandy developed in the 17th century (after the king of Spain banned wine in the Latin American colonies). Both Peru and Chile claim to have invented Pisco — but no matter its origins, this drink is a welcome addition to any cocktail repertoire.

Long Island Green Tea: While this is not quite the Long Island Iced Tea of your youth — for one, there's actual tea in it — the variety of alcohols used and the easy-drinking nature more than merit the name.

Rose 75: A French 75 is a combination of gin, lemon juice, simple syrup and champagne; a French 74 swaps cognac for gin. Rose champagne adds another layer of complexity to what's already a classic in its own right.

Summer Watermelon Situation: This lighter, sunnier, slushier Cosmopolitan screams summer to us. The foamy head is chased by a sweet, slushy watermelon base, all braced with crisp lemon vodka for a clean, refreshing finish.
