It has been a very long time since we’ve brought cocktails to you on Design*Sponge. I credit my work on the Behind the Bar column with a later-in-life curiosity for cocktails. In my home’s dining room, we have an old oval-shaped, two-tiered, wheeled wooden bar cart that is so loaded with bottles of spirits I can’t even roll it! Even with so many different spirits, my go-to cocktail is a gin and tonic with lime. Even still, I’m up for tasting anything that sounds interesting, especially with ginger or citrus. Because we don’t cover cocktails regularly, I thought I would put together a big post with a collection of four recipes. Two can be made as punches, and two are recipes for individual cocktails. All of them have a tropical profile with a common ingredient: lime. Our featured cocktail experts are Shannon Mustipher, Maggie Hoffman, the Cocktail Bandits, and Megan Krigbaum. Try one to kick off summer and let us know what you think! —Kristina
