This recipe offers the perfect formula for an alcoholic cocktail with endless variations. It all depends on what's in your home bar and pantry. Start with a base spirit. Add something tart, like citrus juice or even pickle juice, for a more refreshing flavor. Finally, add something sweet, like syrup or juice—whatever you have on hand—to balance the flavor. Before shaking everything in a shaker with ice, you can add an aromatic (fragrant herbs work well). Top the glass with any bubbly spirit and garnish with the proverbial cherry (which can be anything, even a dill pickle). Below are a few combinations to get you started and then continue experimenting.
