5 Ingredients or Fewer

Cream Biscuits

White Lily flour is widely used throughout the South. Made with only soft winter wheat, it is finer, lighter, and whiter than other types of flour.

Mango Cooler

We love our sweet twist on a daiquiri: mango mixed with dark rum, sugar syrup, and lemon juice (in place of the traditional lime).

Orange Cloud

Like a creamy orange ice-cream pop, this cocktail marries vanilla and orange. But the drink includes two liqueurs, so it’s for adults only.

Watermelon-Tequila Refreshers

If you prefer to serve alcohol-free cocktails, omit the tequila—the drink is still delicious.

Honeydew Granita Spritzer

Seltzer enlivens this effervescent drink, which consists of sweet honeydew melon puree and mouth-puckering lime juice.

Brandy Snaps

You may substitute dark corn syrup for the golden syrup, but the flavor will vary slightly. If the cookies get too cool to shape, return them to the oven for a few seconds until they soften.

Hibiscus and Ginger Iced Tea

If any drink was made for leisurely back-porch sipping, it’s iced tea. Our version is brewed from zesty hibiscus tea, which is made from copperyred hibiscus leaves and is naturally caffeine free. Ginger syrup and lemon juice add layers of flavor.

Orange Lemonade

To make a fizzy version of this recipe, use seltzer or sparkling water.

Homemade Ginger Beer

This ginger beer is very spicy. Adjust the amount of lime juice and sugar to your taste.

Pumpkinseed Crackle

The crackle can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature up to 1 month.

Peach Tea Punch

Almost any type of fruit nectar can be substituted for peach with equally delectable results. We especially like the exotic flavor of mango.

Limeade

For spiked drinks, pour 1 ounce vodka over ice into each glass before topping with limeade.
