I can’t believe beer and spirits makers are still doing s**t like this. I really can’t.

In the throes of a stubborn heat wave, one of the only things I want in my glass is an ice-cold, low-ABV spritz. They’re easy to make and to drink, and make even the stickiest summer evening a little bit breezier. Lately, I’ve been making spritzes with Le Moné aperitif wine from New York’s Finger Lakes region. Made with Meyer lemons and agave nectar, it’s tart and satisfyingly viscous, and the ABV clocks in at just 16%.

An instant hit, the drink quickly became world famous. The original Piña Colada was not the white rum-based, cherry-garnished frozen concoction that most people now think of, however.
