Alas, Los Angeles is still sheltering in place, but we've got some sunny recipes to help drown the sorrows of this year and toast to better times ahead. Whether it's a Pomegranate Martha-rita by the pool or taking a Magic Carpet ride on your couch, here are five refreshers you can make at home to kick off summer.
