When it comes to alcohol, cherries are summer’s “it” fruit. Grey Goose recently came out with its Cherry Noir vodka and now Paula Deen favorite, Southern Comfort, has jumped into the mix. SoCo’s Bold Black Cherry is being served at watering holes like The Local Craft Food & Drink in Coral Gables, Love Hate Lounge in South Beach, and Billys Too in North Miami. Sidle up to the bar and get a Squeeze, the name of the new flavored spirit’s red-hot cocktail, with helpings of SoCo, OJ, lemon lime soda and garnished with a — you betcha — cherry.

Dwight Howard stays chill under pressure with a little help — the Mission Enduracool Towel. Serena Williams was behind the creation of this cloth, which she and Howard both place on their hot zones during training and competition. It’s made from a proprietary performance fabric that works along with water or sweat and goes from 100 degrees to 59 in 60 seconds, the makers say. Until outdoor A/C is invented, this might be the next best thing. From $12.99, www.missionathletecare.com, Dick’s Sporting Goods.
