Since we’re moving into summer, here’s the recipe for a cocktail that’s both refreshing and easy to make. (Guava nectar is usually sold in cans; easy enough to find at most grocery/convenience stores).

SIMPLE PUNCH

2 oz. gin
2 oz. guava nectar
ginger ale

In a tall glass filled with ice, combine the gin and guava nectar. Stir gently and top off with ginger ale. Garnish with lime wedge.
