Temperatures are rising, and the days are getting longer, which means we’ve officially entered white wine season. After all, nothing complements summer like a festive garden party or a pasta salad on the back patio with the perfect Sauvignon Blanc or Vermentino. Except, perhaps, a decadent Mediterranean vacation. Ideally, we would all spend the languid days and warm nights of summer relaxing at a Cyprus-lined villa or lounging beneath a striped umbrella on the Amalfi Coast.

Had a really great Bloody Mary cocktail lately? I did — and when I asked my bartender for the recipe, they revealed the shocking truth: It was simply Zing Zang Bloody Mary mix and vodka. Zing Zang is a mild secret (it’s the top-selling Bloody mix in the U.S.) that I’m all too happy to share, as this bottled mix is better than most homemade versions — and virtually all other bottled mixers I’ve tasted, too.

The broad category of IPAs contains some of the most popular beers in the United States. Among them are hazy IPAs, the juicy, ultra-hoppy brews that captured the attention of American craft beer drinkers — and may never let go. Naturally, the persistence of the hazy craze has earned the New England style some animosity. Many brewers feel pressured to offer at least one in their taprooms, and some of the first cans to send hazies into the stratosphere are now seen as overrated hop bombs.
