CANTALOUPE-BASIL-GRAPEFRUIT COOLER

We're here to tell you that cantaloupe has a lot going for it. Fragrant, sweet, and a touch creamy, it is a perfect pairing for the basil-infused syrup and tart grapefruit juice that it is blended with for this refreshing, agua-fresca-style cooler.

Steps:

  • In a small heatproof bowl, pour 1/2 cup boiling water over sugar and basil; stir until sugar has dissolved. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes. Strain syrup into a blender; discard basil.
  • Add cantaloupe, grapefruit juice, and 1 3/4 cups cold water; blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
  • Serve over ice, garnished with a basil sprig, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. If using vodka, stir a shot (1-ounce) into each glass before serving.

1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup lightly packed basil sprigs, plus more for serving
6 cups peeled, chopped cantaloupe melon
1/3 cup fresh grapefruit juice
Vodka (optional)

GRAPEFRUIT COOLER

This is a rare vodka drink from Audrey Saunders, who was once famous for eschewing the flavorless spirit at her celebrated New York cocktail bar, Pegu Club. In keeping with her exacting style, the drink has been painstakingly workshopped down to the last dash of bitters. The combination of grapefruit-flavored vodka, a special grapefruit syrup and a grapefruit twist produces a bright complexity of flavor that one doesn't expect from a vodka cocktail. And the honey syrup adds a sweet note familiar to anyone who has ever drizzled a line of honey onto her morning grapefruit.

Steps:

  • Mix the honey with 1/2 cup water in a sealed container. Shake until integrated. (You will have extra syrup. Refrigerated, it will keep for a week.)
  • Heat the sugar with 2 cups water over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Let cool. Mix this syrup with grapefruit zest in a container. Cover, shake briskly, and refrigerate for 24 hours. Strain out zest and store syrup in refrigerator. (You will have extra syrup. Refrigerated, it will keep for a week.)
  • Place 1/4 ounce of the honey syrup and 1/2 ounce of the grapefruit syrup in a cocktail shaker with the vodka, lemon juice, bitters and mint. Muddle the mint at the bottom. Fill the shaker halfway with ice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with grapefruit twist.

1/2 cup honey
2 cups sugar
Zest of 1 small grapefruit, plus a twist of rind for garnish
2 ounces grapefruit-flavored vodka, preferably Belvedere
3/4 ounce lemon juice
1 dash Angostura bitters
1 dash Peychaud's bitters
1 sprig mint
