Nonalcoholic

This traditional agua gets its glorious red color from the jamaica, or hibiscus, flower, whose natural sourness is counteracted by the sugar.

Grape juice accents the berry flavor in this terrific-tasting drink.

Add a little fizz by substituting sparkling water or club soda for the two cups of water. Or make a sophisticated brunch beverage by using Champagne or sparkling wine.

Look for almond syrup in the coffee and tea section of the supermarket. The drink is even better topped with the Espresso Whipped Cream.

This simple and refreshing drink comes from the CuisinArt Resort & Spa.

Adjust the strength of the coffee to suit your taste, using 1 cup of ground beans for milder coffee or 1 1/2 cups for a stronger brew. The recipe calls for chocolate-almond-flavored coffee beans, but go ahead and try any flavor you like.
