the... This twist on the classic brunch drink gets its flavor from three types of citrus. For large parties, you can prepare several batches a few hours ahead of time and store them in the freezer. Then, before serving, thaw the mixture slightly and whisk to blend. 22 ice cubes 1/2 cup gin or vodka 1/2 cup whipping cream 1/2 cup club soda 1/4 cup frozen lemonade concentrate 1/4 cup frozen limeade concentrate 3 tablespoons frozen orange juice concentrate 3 tablespoons powdered sugar Ground nutmeg Lemon- and lime-peel twists Lemon slices Place first 8 ingredients in blender; blend until smooth. Pour into 4 glasses. Sprinkle with nutmeg. Garnish with lemon- and lime-peel twists and lemon slices. MANGO-BOYSENBERRY MIMOSA Brunch drinks get updated with this take on the traditional duo of orange juice and champagne. Note that freshly squeezed orange juice is not the best choice here, as its intense taste can overwhelm the other juices. Topping the drink with a boysenberry "floater" creates a vibrant color contrast. 2 cups frozen unsweetened boysenberry, thawed 2 tablespoons sugar 3 cups chilled orange juice (do not use freshly squeezed) 1 1/2 cups frozen orange-peach-mango juice concentrate 1 750-ml bottle of chilled dry champagne 10 small orange slices Place 10 berries in freezer; reserve for garnish. Purée remaining berries in processor. Strain through sieve over bowl, pressing on solids. Mix in sugar. (Purée can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.) Whisk orange juice and concentrate in pitcher to blend. Mix in champagne. Divide mimosa among 10 champagne glasses. Drizzle 1 1/2 teaspoons berry purée over each. Garnish with orange slices and reserved berries. WATERMELON AND STRAWBERRY MARGARITA Freezing the watermelon and strawberries before mixing the drink eliminates the need for ice - and allows the fruit flavors to retain their full intensity. 3 cups (packed) frozen chopped seeded watermelon 1 cup (packed) frozen quartered unsweetened strawberries 7 tablespoons tequila 7 tablespoons triple sec 1/3 cup fresh lime juice 2 tablespoons sugar Pinch of salt 4 small thin watermelon wedges Puree first 7 ingredients in blender until smooth. Pour into chilled margarita glasses. Garnish with watermelon wedges. VERY BERRY SMOOTHIE Grape juice accents the berry flavor in this terrific-tasting drink. 1 3/4 cups low-fat blueberry yogurt 1/4 cup grape juice 1 1/2 cups frozen blueberries 1 cup frozen blackberries Combine yogurt and juice in blender. Add berries. Blend until mixture is thick and smooth. Pour into glasses and serve immediately.

KAPALUA BUTTERFLY 2/3 cup pineapple juice 1/2 cup dark rum 6 tablespoons canned cream of coconut (such as Coco López)* 1/4 cup sweet and sour mix 2 tablespoons grenadine 2 teaspoons frozen orange juice concentrate, unthawed 20 (about) ice cubes *Available in the liquor department of most supermarkets.
