Taste Test: Sparkling Grapefruit • Indicative of the sheer popularity of the Paloma cocktail, sparkling grapefruit has become nearly as essential a mixer as club soda.

Because what says summer more than a little sweet, a little tart, and a little sparkle?

Gear: Ice Tools • Anyone can pop cubes out of a tray, but excellent summer cocktails require expertly crushed and cracked ice. Whether you’re fixing Mai Tais for a tropical bash, serving spritzes poolside, or drinking a Mojito alone on your fire escape, here’s everything you need for the ice your drinks deserve.
