1Strawberry Mezcal Margaritas
PHOTO: LUCY SCHAEFFER; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISONWe love a traditional margarita, but why not give it a modern and fruity twist with strawberries and mezcal?

2Dirty Martini
PHOTO: LUCY SCHAEFFER; FOOD STYLING: BROOKE CAISONThe original martini calls for gin, which adds interesting botanical and herbaceous notes that pair well with dry vermouth, though vodka became more popular thanks to a certain Mr. Bond. Our personal preference is a gin martini because of the more complex flavors. You do you!
