Here are a few favorites, though feel free to tell us where you like to go by adding to our Comments or filling us in on Facebook.

Blu Pointe, Newburgh: Make summer last with "Summer In Manhattan," a combination of Herradura Reposado, St Germain, Amaro Montenegro and Carpano Antica.
Catherine's Restaurant, Goshen: Lemonade never tasted so good --at least this adult version. Check out the "Gentleman's Lemonade," Gentleman's Jack Whiskey, Cointreau, sweet and sour mix, topped with sprite and served with an orange.
Black Dirt Bourbon Barn, Woodbury Common, Central Valley: Ya gotta taste something with "Warwick" in the title, right? It's Orange County, after all. The Warwick Gin is a zesty blend of Warwick Gin, Five & 20 Limoncello, Orange Bitters, Orange, and Sparkling Pointe Brut.
Liberty Street Bistro, Newburgh: With the Hudson so close, it makes sense to toast this great river with The Hudson, muddled cucumber, ginger, Green Hook gin, lemon juice, and green Chartreuse.
Zulu Time, West Point: Indulge in the "American Dream," filled with Grey Goose Vodka, Triple Sec, Blue Curacao, Sour Mix, Pineapple Juice, garnished with a lemon wedge. The view of the Hudson is pretty nice here too.
