This French martini is fruity and not overly sweet. The pineapple and raspberry pair well, and it's easy to make. The perfect brunch cocktail!

Your choice of aromatics combined with good quality gin and tonic makes beautiful Spanish Gin Tonics, the epitome of crisp and refreshing.

This hazelnut Italian hot chocolate is decadence in a mug. It was as thick, rich, and creamy sweet as I imagined it would be--a hazelnut lover's delight!

With just a touch of maple syrup, the Maple Manhattan cocktail stays true to its namesake while paying homage to the fall season.

An easy to make tropical cocktail that doesn't require a blender? That would be this Tropical Painkiller, with a mix of pineapple and orange juice, cream of coconut, and dark rum.

This tangerine martini recipe is a treat for the senses! The smell of sweet tangerines is the first thing you'll notice, followed by the earthy scent of the thyme sprig garnish. The honey adds just enough sweetness without making this cocktail cloying. All in all, a sweet but still fresh and clean martini that was a nice way to end a hot summer day.

You might need to experiment a bit since exact quantities aren't given for the ingredients, but this cocktail is worth trying. My perfect blackberry bourbon smash used a little simple syrup to soften the taste of the alcohol. Because of that, I was also able to taste the blackberries and mint, not just the bourbon.

This take on the classic white Russian cocktail is flavored with a sweet syrup made with coffee, chai tea, and vanilla, and has so much more flavor! Strong coffee and chai spices define the flavor, while the cream gives it smoothness. This is still a very sweet cocktail, and it's excellent as an after-dinner drink.

This tasty chocolate martini recipe is so easy to make and garnish! I had mine done in under 3 minutes, and I'm far from a pro bartender. This recipe made me think of chocolate milk with a slight kick from the alcohol. Nothing too strong, but enough that I didn't forget I was drinking a cocktail.

Lavender, lemon, and mint combine to make a floral but tart Lavender Lemonade Mojito cocktail. This recipe was simple to make, and the fact that it’s for a pitcher of drinks makes it ideal for a spring or summer party.

This Guinness cocktail is a daring mix of stout, bourbon, blackberries, and lime. It's an interesting twist on a St. Patrick's Day cocktail.

I do like a margarita, but I loved this coconut mint margarita recipe! Lime, coconut, mint, and tequila are a match made in heaven.
