Pomelo Digestif

Digestifs are boozy after-dinner drinks said to tame the effects of a rich, heavy meal. They’re ridiculously easy to make: Just add citrus peels or herbs to grain alcohol and steep, then strain and mix with simple syrup. Digestifs keep forever (we store ours in the freezer so they’re pre-chilled), ready whenever you want a nightcap or a cocktail mixer. This recipe relies on the peel from pomelos to create a wonderfully aromatic liqueur.

Cantaloupe Agua Fresca

Agua fresca means “fresh water” in Spanish, and that’s exactly what this drink is: a refreshing water-based beverage. Made up of little more than fresh fruit, citrus juice, and water, aguas frescas are the perfect way to cool down when it’s hot outside. Pair it with a Horchata for your Cinco de Mayo menu. What to buy: Look for the ripest melons available in the produce section—the riper the melons, the less sugar you’ll have to add to the recipe.

Orange liqueur

Preparing homemade orange liqueur is a tried-and-true way to use seasonal citrus over the years. Drinking it makes you feel like you're in sunny Italy, even if it's gray and cold outside the window. The homemade liqueur has an exceptionally intense and natural orange flavor, and is ideal for serving at the end of a meal, as an accompaniment to desserts or as an ingredient in other cocktails.

Lemon liqueur

Lemon liqueur is a wonderful, refreshing beverage, perfect for hot summer days. I always make it at the beginning of summer, when lemons are at their sweetest and juiciest.
