This traditional Cuban cocktail is bright and refreshing, the perfect antidote to a sweltering summer day. We saved time by using frozen limeade for the base, but we’ve added freshly squeezed lime juice and mint leaves for an infusion of authentic flavor. It served over lots of ice and finished with seltzer for those refreshing bubbles. When choosing fresh mint, look for leaves that are bright green with crisp leaves and no signs of wilting. Note that peppermint has a bolder, more pungent flavor than milder-flavored spearmint. For a Rosy Mojito, swap thawed frozen cranberry juice concentrate for the limeade.

Celebrate National Ranch Water Day on April 11. In the past decade, “ranch waters” have become something of a common Western libation, especially in Texas. Concocted with just tequila, lime, and sparkling water, this simple, three-ingredient tipple is often referred to as Texas’ version of skinny margarita and the unofficial cocktail of West Texas. Now, it’s getting its own holiday. April 11 will forever be celebrated as National Ranch Water Day thanks to the folks at RancH2O Spirits, who registered the holiday with the National Day Archives. “The Ranch Water cocktail deserves its own celebration, like its cousin, the margarita,” says RancH2O CEO (and Texan) Amelia Lettieri. For those with extra convenience in mind, RancH20 sells this signature cocktail in canned form along with several other offerings including the Vodka Soda with Cranberry, Classic Marg, and Gin Fizz. And if you haven’t yet mixed this sparkling refreshment for yourself yet, here’s the simple recipe to enjoy on National Ranch Water Day—or any other day. How to Make a Ranch Water Mix 2 oz. tequila and 1 oz. lime juice in a tall glass filled with ice. Top with Topo Chico or your choice of sparkling water. Optional: Add a pinch of salt or Tajin-rimmed glass. Check out RancH2O Spirits online and on Instagram.

You might be familiar with cardamom in baked goods or tea (think masala chai), but have you ever had cardamom-infused coffee? This warm, fragrant beverage is especially popular in the Middle East, where cardamom seeds are often ground with coffee beans. Others add whole cardamom pods or even pre-ground cardamom powder to the brew. We recommend starting with one crushed cardamom pod per cup of coffee, and later adjusting the amount to your taste.

The ginger “bug,” which jump-starts the fermentation in this recipe from chef Cortney Burns, Bar Tartine, San Francisco, specifically uses organic ginger because it’s rich in microbes.
