"If you're going to put a great deal of time and effort into making dinner or entertaining — getting the most beautiful piece of fish or chicken — then you should take that same approach with your drinks," says Adam Seger of Nacional 27.

Grand Mojito Martini
1 lime cut into 8 pieces
1/2 orange cut into 4 pieces
16 mint leaves, plus 1 for garnish
1 oz. Ten Can Rum
1 oz. Grand Marnier
1/2 oz. simple syrup
Two dashes Angostura bitters

First chill a 10-ounce martini glass. Then, in a 16-ounce pint glass, build the lime and orange with 16 mint leaves. Muddle until mint is aromatic and citrus are juicy. Shake vigorously with fresh ice until shaker is frosted. Add rum, Grand Marnier and simple syrup and then strain into chilled martini glass. Finish with bitters. Float mint leaf on top.
