MINT-GINGER CAIPIROSKA
All kinds of cocktails perk up when herbs are added to the mix. The key to extracting the herbs' flavors and fragrant oils is muddling -- done with a traditional bar tool (that's similar to a mortar and pestle but gentler on delicate leaves) or the end of a wooden spoon. Try these cocktails: Cilantro Negroni, Tequila-Thyme Lemonade, Basil French 75

STRAWBERRY-GINGER CAIPIROSKA
The vodka-based caipiroska is a close cousin to Brazil's most famous drink, the caipirinha, which is made with cachaça. The classic caipiroska is just mint, ice, and vodka but it can be made with any fruit and strawberries are particularly good; they bring sweetness to this refreshing cocktail.
