Blackberry-Tarragon Paletas

Frozen into a slushy, the classic tequila and grapefruit cocktail becomes even more refreshing.

Froyo for one, made in a blender and topped with a crackly magic shell.

This no-oven-needed crisp can be made with almost any fresh berry (we’d avoid raspberries) and comes together within 45 minutes.

Gourmet’s version of this perfect summer drink mixes the ideal ratio of vodka with cranberry and grapefruit juices, right in the glass.

This is the perfect summer party dessert, featuring grilled pound cake, Cointreau-spiked raspberries, and classic vanilla ice cream.

With elderflower liqueur, mint, and prosecco, the effervescent Hugo spritz cocktail is a hit year round, but particularly on warm nights.

Using frozen strawberries means no need for ice cubes. White rum adds just enough booze and fresh lime juice, bright acidity.

A punchy vinaigrette of preserved lemon and hot chile animates seared zucchini. A simple solution for summer's most prolific vegetable.
