Natasha David has served a wide variety of spritzes at her Lower East Side bar, Nitecap, since it opened in 2014. Some she delivered in the fashion of a standard cocktail - that is, chilled but iceless. Despite its name, that is the case with this bright and sparkling take on the classic daiquiri. Fragrant crème de menthe and the light flavor of the muddled cucumber give the drink an additional garden freshness.

This cake is a bit too rich for my taste, but it's still very good. I would recommend it for special occasions.

I'm not a big fan of chocolate cake, but this one was surprisingly good. The peppermint frosting really made it.

This cake is so easy to make, and it always turns out perfectly. I love that I can make it ahead of time and just pop it in the oven when I'm ready to serve it.

I was a bit disappointed with this cake. It was dry and the frosting was too sweet.

This cake was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still very good. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
