A hopped up twist on the traditional lemonade, this fizzy cooler refreshes to the core.
1 oz. Amarillo hop syrup, or more, to taste (see below)
5 oz. club soda
Ice cubes
Tools: barspoon
Glass: highball or pint
Garnish: lime wedge
In an ice-filled Collins glass add the hop syrup and top with club soda. Stir gently to combine. Garnish.
For the Hop Syrup
1 cup water
1 cup demerara sugar
1 oz. Amarillo hop pellets (Brudvig uses nitrogen-flushed Hopunion packets, though you may also substitute other hop pellets or whole-leaf hops)
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
Bring water and sugar just to a boil in a saucepan over medium heat. Reduce heat to low, add hop pellets, cover and simmer for one minute. Remove from heat and let steep, covered, for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, add the citrus juices. Stir well and immediately strain through four layers of cheesecloth into a clean glass bottle. Keep refrigerated and use within 2 weeks.
TIP: Turn this hopped-up lemonade into an instant cocktail by adding 1 1/2 oz. of your favorite spirit—the hop syrup pairs especially well with rye whiskey and gin.

This electric pink ice cream soda gets its name from the frothy bubble effect created by the marriage of seltzer and ice cream. Brooklyn Farmacy soda jerk Peter Freeman uses Brooklyn’s own P&H Hibiscus Syrup, but you can also make your own by steeping hibiscus tea in hot simple syrup for a few minutes.
2 oz. hibiscus syrup (see note above)
10 oz. seltzer
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream
Tools: barspoon
Glass: soda
Pour hibiscus syrup in a soda glass. Add chilled seltzer and stir gently. Add ice cream. Serve with a straw.
