  Classic Margarita

  The classic margarita is a three-ingredient Mexican cocktail that lives or dies by balance: peppery blanco tequila, bright fresh lime, and just enough orange liqueur to round the edges. Shaken hard with plenty of ice, it turns frosty, lightly frothy, and sharply refreshing, with a salted rim that makes every sip taste brighter. Sticking to a 2:1:1 ratio and squeezing the limes yourself is what separates this from the syrupy mixes.

  Shirley Temple

  The Shirley Temple is the original mocktail: snappy ginger ale poured over a glass packed with ice, tinted rosy-pink with pomegranate grenadine and crowned with a stemmed maraschino cherry. Built straight in the glass rather than shaken, it stays icy and fizzy instead of syrupy — the keys are refrigerator-cold soda, grenadine that is measured rather than glugged, and a single gentle stir so the bubbles survive all the way to the last sip.
