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.

What to Cook This Labor Day Weekend: August 31 - September 3
Grilled chicken, grilled steak, grilled corn...and, fine, some recipes you don't need the grill for. (Happy Labor Day!)
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.
Blueberry, Lime, and Cashew Smoothies
Save your beautiful farmers' market berries for dessert and use the frozen stuff here instead.
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.
Ayran
This frothy salted Turkish yogurt drink is endlessly refreshing.
