Three Drinks for a Hot Summer

Try Sapporo Imported Premium Beer ($4.50) with burgers, hot dogs, ribs and other straight-from-thegrill favorites. Available citywide.

A refreshing, crisp white—like the new MacMurray Ranch Sonoma Coast Chardonnay ($20), with rich fruit flavors of melon and passion fruit and tinges of vanilla—is a joy to drink this time of year. Astor Wines & Spirits, 399 Lafayette St., 212-674-7500

Mix up a pitcher of this refreshing cocktail—everyone will thank you.
