Citrus

Sparkling Grapefruit Cocktail

This beautiful, bubbly summertime drink is fancy enough to enjoy on your yacht… or inner tube!

Skirt Steak With Preserved Lemon Butter and Sesame Cauliflower

Skirt steak is one of our favorite cuts of beef—it’s flavorful, affordable, and quick-cooking. That said, it’s imperative to slice it thinly against the grain for the best texture.

Hibiscus, Orange, and Vanilla Agua Fresca

True, this concoction is slightly more complex than lemonade. But so are most relationships.

Sansa's Lemon Cakes

Sansa Stark made these desserts one of the most recognizable in Game of Thrones. She deserves a sweet treat after all she’s endured, and so do you. For a Dark Sansa version, pour syrup over the cake, then top with black sesame seeds. And be sure to check out our other GoT-inspired recipes!

Hand Salad With Buttermilk, Grapefruit, and Mixed Seeds

These snaggable, snackable wedges have more in common with a bowl of party mix than any perfunctory salad.

Margarita, Hold the Triple Sec

Strong, shaken, and sooooo easy to drink.

Cosmopolitan

Sidecar

There’s a simple structure behind all sours, a family of citrus-based cocktails.

Lime-Pickled Red Onion

Acidity helps preserve the alliums’ flavor; either vinegar or citrus juice would do the trick.

Sea Scallops With Celery Root and Meyer Lemon Salad

Pick a small to medium celery root and peel off its hide with a sharp knife. Inside you'll find ivory-green flesh that's crisp, a bit nutty, and utterly delicious in salads. This take on a classic remoulade provides perfect contrast to the silken luxury of seared scallops.

Tropical Carrot, Ginger, and Turmeric Smoothie

A pinch of salt makes everything taste better, including savory smoothies.

Marinated Feta With Roasted Lemon

Try this with white beans on toast, in salads, or puréed and spread on pita.

Blood Orange Buttermilk Upside-Down Cake

Be sure to invert the cake after it's baked while it's still warm; if you wait too long, the oranges will stick to the pan.

Spiced Cranberry Apple Relish

This recipe, part of our Throwback Thanksgiving feature, is from our 1970 issue. Granny Smith apples have lots of pectin, which makes them ideal for this sauce; it will set up without adding any gelatin to the mixture.

Maple-Cinnamon Toast With Citrus and Crème Fraîche

The cinnamon butter will saturate the bread while it bakes, almost like an eggless French toast.

Mixed Citrus "Gratin"

Suprêming citrus may be a labor of love, but there really is nothing more refreshing than taking a bite into one of these segments.

Watermelon Margarita

Out of tequila? Never fear: Using vodka instead makes this watermelon margarita recipe just as delicious.

Aperol-Grapefruit Spritz

Aperol spritz is one of the most popular aperitifs in Italy, and you'll soon find out why after tasting this.

Ginger-Lime Spritz

Go with a Brut style (the driest) when picking out your Prosecco for max refreshment.

Grilled Padrón Chiles with Fish Sauce and Lime

Other not-too-hot chiles are great with the same seasonings if you can’t find Padróns. Look for shishitos or Italian frying peppers instead.
