Basil meets a potpourri of unconventional fruits to make up this peculiar and exciting cocktail, Basilico. A basil cocktail is fitting for our episode on the 80/20 Rule—it's a strong herb where a little goes a long way. If you're not as big of a basil fan as we are, tone down the leaves and amp up the strawberries or other liqueurs to your liking. Fruits like peach and apple, which we don't often see in mixed drinks, are a welcome surprise any time of the year.

Zero Proof Swizzle may be a mocktail, but don't be fooled: This isn't your grandmother's fruity drink. A mix of fresh juices and tropical falernum mellow out with Fee Brothers walnut and peach bitters. The walnut bitters add a mature, smoky taste that whiskey Manhattan lovers will savor.

Looking for the perfect cider drink to round out your fall? Your quest is over. The Stone Fence is a delightfully simple rum and cider cocktail that delivers complexity without the fuss. While we don't typically consider cider to be a refreshing drink, the mint sprig adds an interesting twist that creates a crisp aftertaste. If our episode has you in the mood for a big change, try swapping out the mint for cloves and drinking this one warm.

Searching for the perfect cocktail for your post-stressful-afternoon-meeting debrief? Lady Boss is a sophisticated, sweet and simple concoction that blends Aviation Gin (our favorite), ginger beer, lime and simple syrup. Refreshing and crisp, this combination tastes like how coming up with a fresh, new idea at the end of a long brainstorm feels.

Smoky Nail brings a bit of a smoky aftertaste to the traditional Rusty Nail with Laphroaig Lore Single Malt Scotch Whisky. Starting with a spicy chili bite and finishing off with a sweet aftertaste, this drink is rich and classically peaty. Mix in a bit of Drambuie and lemon, and before you know it you'll be longing for a seat by the campfire on a crisp, fall night.

Cucumbers are wonderful in anything. So why would a cocktail be any different? Cool Hand Cuke is an aromatic blend of muddled cucumber, gin and Pimm's, and citrus flavors. Hendrick's and cucumber are a natural pair, and the notes of citrus make this the ideal end-of-summer drink.

This cocktail is just like sales and prospecting: it's sweet, but it still knows how to get the job done. Though bold, The Charming Foxtale is ideal for slow-sipping while you contemplate your next sales move. It's bold and polished, with a smooth tequila base. And the Aperol brings a few unique flavors into the mix, including bitter and sweet oranges, herbs, and rhubarb.

This drink is a heavy-hitter. The olive brine meshes nicely with the dry vermouth, delivering a strong dose of saltiness and flavor. It's a martini you drink after you've (metaphorically) climbed a mountain and can see how great it is from the top.

Before you say "I'm not a tequila drinker," try Paloma. Refreshing with all the right notes of tequila and lime juice, this drink is an upscale version of the classic margarita. And the Himalayan sea salt around the rim adds a nice, rosy touch.

Summer's here and that means patio time. This pitcher perfect vermouth-filled cocktail is light enough to drink all day and strong enough that you won't know it until it's too late. Pour that second glass at your own risk.
