Bartending legend Dale DeGroff keeps it simple with his watermelon cooler, which is a supereasy combination of sauvignon blanc, St-Germain, watermelon juice, and a small dose of agave syrup.
Cocktails
Frosé (a.k.a. Frozen Rosé)
When it comes to one of the more ubiquitous portmanteaus in cocktails— frosé, aka frozen rosé—summertime is the right time to break out the blender.

Alex Province’s Spanish Gin & Tonic
The classic Gin and Tonic recipe gets a Spanish makeover with rosemary, thyme, and mint. Plus, add citrus and rinds in a big balloon glass as well. Festive!
