CANTALOUPE-BASIL-GRAPEFRUIT COOLER
We're here to tell you that cantaloupe has a lot going for it. Fragrant, sweet, and a touch creamy, it is a perfect pairing for the basil-infused syrup and tart grapefruit juice that it is blended with for this refreshing, agua-fresca-style cooler.

Steps:
- In a small heatproof bowl, pour 1/2 cup boiling water over sugar and basil; stir until sugar has dissolved. Let cool completely, about 20 minutes. Strain syrup into a blender; discard basil.
- Add cantaloupe, grapefruit juice, and 1 3/4 cups cold water; blend until smooth. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve.
- Serve over ice, garnished with a basil sprig, or refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days. If using vodka, stir a shot (1-ounce) into each glass before serving.
GRAPEFRUIT COOLER
This is a rare vodka drink from Audrey Saunders, who was once famous for eschewing the flavorless spirit at her celebrated New York cocktail bar, Pegu Club. In keeping with her exacting style, the drink has been painstakingly workshopped down to the last dash of bitters. The combination of grapefruit-flavored vodka, a special grapefruit syrup and a grapefruit twist produces a bright complexity of flavor that one doesn't expect from a vodka cocktail. And the honey syrup adds a sweet note familiar to anyone who has ever drizzled a line of honey onto her morning grapefruit.

Steps:
- Mix the honey with 1/2 cup water in a sealed container. Shake until integrated. (You will have extra syrup. Refrigerated, it will keep for a week.)
- Heat the sugar with 2 cups water over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Let cool. Mix this syrup with grapefruit zest in a container. Cover, shake briskly, and refrigerate for 24 hours. Strain out zest and store syrup in refrigerator. (You will have extra syrup. Refrigerated, it will keep for a week.)
- Place 1/4 ounce of the honey syrup and 1/2 ounce of the grapefruit syrup in a cocktail shaker with the vodka, lemon juice, bitters and mint. Muddle the mint at the bottom. Fill the shaker halfway with ice. Shake well. Strain into a chilled coupe glass. Garnish with grapefruit twist.

Steps:
- Place a rack in the middle of the oven and one in the top (if using an electric oven). Heat to 350 degrees.
- Arrange the grapefruit sections in the crust in a pinwheel design. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, 1/2 cup brown sugar, grapefruit rind and grapefruit juice. Stir to mix well.
- Spoon the mixture over the grapefruit sections, being careful not to disturb the design and not to allow any of the juice to seep over the edge of the crust. Place on the middle rack of the oven, and bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven, and turn the oven to broil.
- Sprinkle the remaining 2 tablespoons of brown sugar over the top of the tart; if there isn't enough liquid in the tart to cause the brown sugar to bubble under the broiler, sprinkle 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of grapefruit juice over the sugar before broiling. Return to the oven, and broil for 4 minutes, or until bubbly. Remove from oven, and cool on a rack.
