The traditional Cuban mojito is made with mint. Here, we add Thai basil to give it an exotic twist. (If you can’t find Thai basil, use regular basil; it’s a different flavor but still delicious.)

Perfect for brunch or even an afternoon snack, this drink of freshly juiced veggies is nourishing and satisfying.

Sangria is a colorful and festive punch that’s traditionally made with red wine and brandy. This alcohol-free version is just as flavorful and perfect for people of all ages. Blood oranges are a great substitute for regular oranges.

For a classic presentation, salt the edge of your glasses by running a lime wedge around the rim and rolling in kosher salt.

The elegance of a martini meets the energizing effect of green tea. Use a mandoline or vegetable peeler to thinly shave the gingerroot for garnish.

Making your own almond milk is a breeze in the blender. Pitted dates add a subtle flavor and sweetness but are not necessary. For variety, try adding cinnamon, nutmeg, or vanilla to your milk.
