With Independence Day on the horizon, it’s time to start talking about the important stuff…like barbecue and cocktail menus.

We caught up with the good folks at [Skylark](http://skylarkbarbrooklyn.com/?ref=bklyner.com) (477 5th Avenue at 11th Street) last week to learn about three of their favorite summer cocktails. The best part? All three drinks are a cinch to pull off at home. You can find a complete breakdown of the recipes below.

**The Monte Carlo**  
1.5 oz Eagle Rare bourbon  
1/2 oz grapefruit juice  
*Top off with about 1.5 oz Prosecco, stir.*

**The Thunderbird**  
1.5 oz Tito’s vodka infused with jalapeño  
8 oz ginger beer  
*Lightly shake server over ice. Garnish with lime.*

**The Bel-Air**  
1/2 oz Pimms Liqueur  
1 oz cucumber flavored vodka  
1/2 oz mint simple syrup (equal parts water/sugar; boil with mint leaves until sugar dissolves, strain)  
2 oz lemonade  
*Shake with ice, strain into tall glass. Garnish with lime.*
