The Pina Colada is a summertime classic that deserves more respect than it gets. It may be sweet and it may be palatable to people who don’t drink much or are just starting, but it’s a wonderful treat for seasoned cocktail lovers, too.

The Sea Breeze is an excellent summer cocktail (not that it’s to be avoided the rest of the year). The ingredients are vodka, cranberry and grapefruit juice, so the taste is tart and refreshing. Perfect for sipping by the beach (or sipping while you imagine you’re by the beach). The original Prohibition Era recipe called for gin and grenadine.

The Deauville Cocktail dates back to 1930 and originated in New Orleans. It’s very simple to make, and works well for a pitcher of pre-mixed drinks at a party.
