Not always an oxymoron, healthy cocktails like these (think zen sangria and kumquat mojitos) are fresh and delicious.

Go to Recipe

This strong but not overly sweet sangria is nicely spiced with cinnamon, anise and cloves and it has just enough crushed red pepper to give it a tiny kick.

The Red and the Black

Go to Recipe

Chef Peter Hoffman's bar manager, Michael Cecconi, created this strawberry-and-tequila cocktail, which is served at both of Hoffman's New York City restaurants, Savoy and Back Forty (his latest); it's the top-selling drink during strawberry season. A clever black pepper–infused simple syrup makes it taste more sophisticated than most fruity cocktails.

Kumquat Mojitos

Go to Recipe

Classic mojitos are made with rum, muddled mint and limes; Jean-Georges Vongerichten keeps things interesting by swapping the limes for tart kumquats and kalamansi concentrate, the frozen juice of the sour Asian citrus fruit. If kalamansi isn't available, regular orange juice concentrate tastes just as good.

Blackberry-Mint Margarita

Credit: © Frances Janisch
Go to Recipe

Many of the fruits used in the Hungry Cat's cocktails are stored in steamer-clam buckets atop the bar—a nod to the seafood-heavy menu, and to chef David Lentz's Chesapeake Bay area upbringing.
