Nonalcoholic

Better Than Celery Juice

Celery juice—all the rage! But still kind of a hard sell. With apple, parsley, apple cider vinegar, and a dusting of black pepper, things start to get interesting. Better yet: It also tastes good with gin.

Tea-Totaler’s Toddy

No booze required for this soothing green tea toddy. But if you do want an extra dose of warmth, we like this with smoky mezcal.

Spicy Citrus Refresher

This big batch of jalapeño-spiced orange-lime juice keeps in the fridge for a couple of days. Pour it over ice and top it with seltzer for a refreshing alcohol-free pick-me-up.

Shirley Tonic

A holiday-spiced grenadine syrup, club soda, and a twist is a grown-up Shirley Temple we can all enjoy. For the adults who want to imbibe, a splash of Scotch fits just right.

The Blaylock

It couldn’t be simpler to combine honey, grapefruit, lemon, and seltzer, but the mixture is surprisingly complex in flavor, both tangy and rich.

We Found the New Spindrift

This new seltzer has real fruit juice, bright and fizzy bubbles, and all the flavors you've been missing.

Peak-Season Slushies

Think of this smoothie-like sipper as a base, then start riffing. Try blending mild red pepper flakes with mango, finely grated ginger with pineapple, or cucumber and mint with honeydew.

Taste Test: Lime Seltzer

Out of 17 bubbly waters, one sparkled above the rest.

Mango Slushie

Ginger kombucha adds bright flavor and plenty of healthful probiotics to this tropical fruit smoothie.

Avocado Water

You know the old saying: Sounds weird, tastes great! For real, though, you are going to love this super sippable, refreshing beverage.

Luscious Hot Chocolate

Cozy up with a mug of this rich, creamy hot chocolate that will warm you up from head to toe.

Taste Test: Coconut Water

We tasted 19 brands to find the best. Did your favorite make the cut?

Middle Eastern Limonana

This bright-green combination of lemon and mint is found on tables throughout the Middle East.

Limonada de Coco

Limonada is most often translated as “lemonade,” but limes are the best approximation of the Colombian citrus that stars alongside coconut in this barely sweet smoothie.

Cardamom Sharbat

Sharbats are sweet boiled fruit syrups served across Central Asia and Northern Africa, though flavor combinations vary widely. This one is infused with bright, floral, citrusy cardamom that complements the lemon perfectly.

Strawberry-Rose Agua Fresca

This refreshing beverage makes the most of peak-of-the-season strawberries. Look for the best you can find. You can skip the rose water, but its delicate flavor goes really well with berries and will add something special.

Blueberry, Lime, and Cashew Smoothies

Save your beautiful farmers' market berries for dessert and use the frozen stuff here instead.

Ayran

This frothy salted Turkish yogurt drink is endlessly refreshing.
