We learned to make the ubiquitous paella and sangria, which apparently are not novelties at all, just something thrown together with whatever ingredients happen to be on hand. They show up on Spanish menus for the enjoyment of tourists.This can be adjusted to suit your taste and is very forgiving. It can be made ahead or whipped up at a moment’s notice.

This Hot Apple Cider recipe however goes in the other direction, I add water to it to dilute the natural sweetness of the apple juice. This also stretches the amount, making the recipe more economical.

I made this the other day during the super chilly weather and with it’s warming spices (cinnamon and cloves) it hit the spot.

Erick Castro, the general manager at Rickhouse Bar in San Francisco, makes this easy holiday punch in our You’re Doing It All Wrong video. It’s a flexible recipe that will work with nearly any base spirit if you don’t have genever.

What to buy: Though it’s also infused with botanicals like juniper, genever (a.k.a. Holland or Dutch gin) is a maltier, funkier relative of gin that mixes very well in cocktails. Anchor Distilling and Bols make good versions that can be found at any well-stocked liquor store.

You can even start this a day ahead to give the flavors a chance to come together. Any brut sparkling wine would be great in this sangria, but I like using cava, the affordable sparkling wine from Spain.

The bubbles in the sparkling wine make the pomegranate seeds rise and fall in the glass, just like an old lava lamp. Using a flute with a long hollow stem will help out this effect, but most important is using seeds from a nice fresh pomegranate.

But many people shy away from absinthe due to its strong flavor. This slightly sweet cocktail shows the liquor’s more feminine side, balancing the anise flavor nicely with orange bitters.

What to buy: Lucid is one of the most widely available absinthes. If you can’t find it, substitute another anise-flavored liqueur such as pastis or Pernod.

When a recipe calls for blood orange bitters, we turn to Stirrings brand; it can be found at specialty liquor stores. If you can’t find it, use regular orange bitters or omit this ingredient.

Simple syrup can be found at most liquor stores, or you can make your own.
