hether your palate prefers sweet,
sour or spicy, there's a cocktail for
you! Enjoy this first Story in our
three-part series, "Sweet, Sour and Spicy."

There's just something about
bright, sweet flavors that pair
perfectly with warm weather-
sitting poolside, dining al fresco,
lounging on your porch or at
the beach, with friends or your
significant other. And then there
are those who simply prefer a
sweeter cocktail any time of year.
If you go for drinks that are
easy to prepare-meaning easy to
enjoy even sooner-these recipes
for three-ingredient cocktails
(four, if you count the garnish!)
could become instant favorites.
They'll provide lots of enjoyment
and minimal effort for summer
gatherings, whether impromptu or
planned.
The garnishes are optional, but
their gentle influence on the rim
of the glass and on the nose as
you bring the glass up to sip make
them oh-so-worthwhile!
