An unusual mix of gin, maraschino cherry liqueur, lemon juice and creme de violette, the Aviation cocktail is a real knockout. It creates a gin-based drink that is strongly floral, a bit fruity and a whole lot of fun. —Susan Bronson, Rhinelander, Wisconsin
4/24
French Martini
From the Recipe Creator:
Pretty, fruity and perfectly balanced, it's no wonder this martini was made an instant classic in the 1980s at the famed New York City bar Balthazar. The sophisticated sipper features vodka, pineapple juice and Chambord, a luscious French raspberry liqueur. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
5/24
Campari Spritz

The Campari spritz is a little bit bitter, a touch sweet and super bubbly. This cocktail has only three ingredients but has enough flavor to make you feel like you are enjoying the afternoon sunshine on the Amalfi Coast. —Kate McKiernan, Chicago, Illinois
6/24

Melon Margarita

Melon liqueur dramatically changes the flavor and color of a classic margarita and also makes it sweeter. If you'd like your melon margarita a little more tart, cut back on the liqueur just a tiny bit. —James Schend, Pleasant Prairie, Wisconsin

Mix up grapefruit vodka, ginger ale, grapefruit juice, a little wine and simple syrup and what do you get? A perfectly refreshing and beautiful sipper fit for any holiday or special gathering. —Becky Hardin, St. Peters, Missouri

Blueberry Mojito
From the Recipe Creator:
Blueberry and lime are two of my favorite flavors, so I added blueberries to my favorite mixed drink! This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. To make simple syrup, combine 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup water and cook over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved. Simple syrup will keep in the fridge for a week.—Michele Tungett, Rochester, Illinois
15/24
Black-Eyed Susan
From the Recipe Creator:
The Kentucky Derby has the mint julep; the Preakness has the black-eyed Susan. The drink is a sunny mix of vodka, rum, and pineapple and orange juices to toast your special events.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Strawberry Riesling Wine Spritzer
From the Recipe Creator:
Nothing says spring like strawberries and wine spritzers. The tarragon and black pepper in this refreshing cocktail complement the strawberry flavor and really make it taste special! The syrup is also delicious in lemonade, iced tea, club soda, and gin and tonic. —Zoe Ann McKinnon, St. Louis, Missouri
17/24
Pineapple Margarita
From the Recipe Creator:
Pineapple is the star of the show in this margarita. A sweet and tangy flavor profile comes from the pineapple and lime juice that then gets paired with the smoothness of amaretto and blanco tequila for this tropical cocktail. —Ian Cliffe, Milwaukee, Wisconsin
18/24
Lone Ranger Cocktail
From the Recipe Creator:
A Lone Ranger is basically a French 75 with a twist. It uses tequila instead of gin, and brut rosé instead of champagne. A little bit of lemon and a drop of sweetness finish off this super sassy sipper. —Kate McKiernan, Chicago, Illinois
20/24
21/24
