We here in Cocktail Therapy-land like to milk our drinks for everything they're worth. So this time of year, why not make your cocktail do double-duty? You can use your favorite drinks to craft delicious marinades, dressings and dips.

First, if you're serving steak or pork, forget red wine--a Maker's Mark Manhattan is the perfect complement.

If it's chicken or fish you're planning to serve, the Mojito is a summery complement to white meat dishes.

Happy drinking...and eating!
