Sangria

Serves 6 to 8 Martha Stewart

Sangria originated in Spain, and it takes its name from the word sangre, which means “blood.” It should be served as cold as possible. Avoid highly acidic fruits such as pineapple, because they detract from the flavor rather than enhancing it.

1 ripe peach, pitted and sliced

1 red apricot, pitted and sliced

5 strawberries, sliced in thirds

1 seedless orange, sliced in rounds

1/4 cup triple sec

pinch of granulated sugar

1 bottle dry red or white wine, such as Spanish Rioja or Bordeaux

2 tablespoons superfine sugar

2 cups freshly squeezed orange juice

Victor J. Bergeron created the drink in 1944. Bergerson used the recipe in his Trader Vic’s starting in 1948, and later introduced the Mai Tai to Hawaii in 1953 in the Royal Hawaiian, Moana and Surfrider Hotels. This version no doubt derives from that 1953 origin.

In blender, blend all ingredients except rum. Refrigerate until chilled, about 1 hour. The mixture will thicken as it chills. Stir in rum. Garnish with nutmeg.

Heat a glass goblet by rinsing it with hot water. Fill it three-quarters of the way with coffee, whiskey and sugar and stir. Then, touch the surface of the coffee with a spoon turned bowl-down. Pour the cream over the back of the spoon, floating it on top of the coffee.

Put the ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Pour in the vodka and the cider. Shake well. Put the cinnamon stick in a martini glass and pour in the contents of the shaker. Optional: Put the cinnamon stick in the shaker and shake with the liquid. After filling the martini glass, pull out the stick and put it in the glass. Men, in particular, like this martini.

Put the ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Pour in the vodka, pomegranate juice, triple sec, and squeeze in the lime. Shake well. Pour into a martini glass and serve.

Put the ice cubes in a medium tall glass. Pour the rum over the ice cubes. Pour in the can of pineapple juice and stir. Optional: Squeeze in a quarter of a fresh lime. Stir and serve.

Put the ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Add peach schnapps, curcaco, pineapple juice and orange juice; shake. Pour into martini glass. Stir in soda water.
