10 Simple Cocktails You’ll Be Making All Summer Long
Simple Summer cocktails were made for lazier days. We love summer evenings, with the sun setting later this time of year. Life seems a bit more relaxed, even during the week. We’ve put together a list of our favorite cocktails for warmer weather. Whip one of these up and take some time to chill. Let us know your favorite!
Pineapple Margarita
Our Pineapple Margarita is refreshing and delicious. Made with tequila, triple sec, pineapple juice, and pineapple water, it’s also a lower-calorie cocktail that’s fun to sip. We love the salted rim, but you do you. Get the recipe: Pineapple Margarita
Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri with Mango
Our Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri with Mango is creamy and refreshing, the perfect summer cocktail. Though we love a simple strawberry daiquiri, adding the mango takes it to a whole new level. Get the recipe: Frozen Strawberry Daiquiri
Frozen Raspberry Gin & Tonic
I am indebted to whoever thought to put a gin and tonic in a blender with raspberries. G & T is refreshing anyway, but we’re loving the fruity version for summer evenings. Get the recipe: Frozen Raspberry Gin & Tonic
Malibu Rum Pina Colada
I’ve been drinking pina coladas for a long time, but adding coconut rum just makes it so much better. We prefer Malibu, and we might pour a little heavier on the weekends. Just sayin’. Get the recipe: Malibu Rum Pina Colada
Tinto de Verano Recipe
This is one of the most refreshing cocktails you’ll have all summer, and it’s lower alcohol as it’s made with wine and soda. The delicious and vibrant flavors are perfect for warm-weather parties. Get the recipe: Tinto de Verano
Grapefruit Mimosa
We like Mimosas any way you make them. Orange juice, cranberry juice, and even pineapple juice are delicious when paired with champagne. The grapefruit juice is refreshing and pairs perfectly. Get the recipe: Grapefruit Mimosa
Coconut Margarita
We love festive drinks and this is one of the prettiest we’ve made. The creamy coconut paired with tequila is perfection. Don’t skip the toasted coconut! Get the recipe: Coconut Margarita
Jamaican Rum Punch
I absolutely love Jamaica and remember well being handed this cocktail. It tastes just like fruit punch, but don’t let it fool you. One is probably enough! Get the recipe: Jamaican Rum Punch
Frozen Daiquiri
A simple frozen daiquiri is one of the most refreshing cocktails for summer days. We’ve mad this one with a splash of triple sec to go with the white rum, fresh lime juice, and sugar. It’s delicious! Get the recipe: Frozen Daiquiri
Green Apple Martini
Typically, drinks made with apples get pushed to Autumn, but this green apple martini is so crisp and refreshing that we just had to include it. Made with vodka, sour apple, and apple juice, serve this one ice cold. Get the recipe: Green Apple Martini
