You've mastered the mimosa, be it traditional, apple cider, or orange creamsicle. You could make Jell-O shots without a recipe, and your margarita is so on-point you don't even bother ordering ones at restaurants anymore.
But, when you've hit a drink rut, and you're craving something a little different than your go-to recipes—and, dare we say it, a little fancier than the usual—look no further. We turned to the mixologists at Kingside in New York to uncover some of the hottest new cocktails. Here's what you need to try next.

This cocktail takes some ingredients you're familiar with—blackberries, mint and vodka—and pairs them with one you'll want to show off to everyone you know: Byrrh (pronounced "beer"), a wine apertif, punches up the berry flavor without making it tooth-achingly sweet.

Cucumbers, strawberries and lime juice make for one crisp, refreshing cocktail. Bonal, a French apertif, may seem strange at first, but it has a plummy, slightly bitter taste that keeps the drink from veering into fruity, spa-water territory. If you can't find a bottle near you, try red vermouth.
