Cheers to Summer!
These 15 Easy Summer Cocktails are the perfect refresher for the beach, lake, patio or backyard.
I never used to be a cocktail girl.
Rather I was happy with a cold beer {I blame that on college}. But as I got older beer was a bit heavy and I started trying lighter cocktails as a refresher. Enter in the seltzer craze the past few years and now I rarely drink a beer!
I love how you can go with any traditional, many years passed down cocktail, or you can play around and make your own. My standbys when the weather is warm is a classic gin & tonic or a vodka/lime juice/seltzer water combo.
This week I hand picked some of my favorites to share with you. Everything from sangria to margaritas to rum runners. They are all fun and easy!
Alright, so which one are you trying first?
Here's my list - in this order - Frozen Gin and Tonic, then the Raspberry Gin Rickey, then the Ranch Water.
But let's be honest. If anyone were to handle me any one of these 15 cocktails I'd slurp it up without any complaints!
Whenever the weather gets hot, I always prefer mixing up something bright and refreshing with natural fruit profiles for barbecue weekends. I used to rely mostly on standard citrus combinations, but adding a tart berry twist has completely changed my home drink menu. I actually started experimenting with https://nemiroff.vodka/en-uk/products/the-inked-collection-wild-cranberry/ after trying a friend's berry mix at a pool party, and that sweet-sour balance was incredible. Mixing it with a bit of tonic or sparkling water and fresh lime makes the most effortless summer treat. Thanks for sharing these amazing recipe inspirations!
