As the weather warms up and summer approaches, it’s time to switch over to the world of summer cocktails and beverages! A refreshing mojito, a sangria for all wine lovers or a simple gin & tonic can remind your taste buds that warm weather awaits!
Mojito
A classic summer cocktail, the mojito combines fresh mint leaves, lime juice, sugar, and rum, topped with soda water and ice. It’s a refreshing and minty drink perfect for hot days.
Margarita
Made with tequila, lime juice, and sweetener, the margarita is a tangy and citrusy drink that can be served on the rocks or blended with ice. You can also experiment with different fruit flavors like strawberry, jalapeño or mango.
Piña Colada
This tropical cocktail combines rum, pineapple juice, and coconut cream, blended with ice. It’s creamy, fruity, and perfect for a beachy vibe. Be careful though- it can taste like a smoothie but it will creep up on you!
Sangria
A chilled pitcher of sangria is a great option for entertaining. Mix red, white or rose wine with fruit juice and fresh fruits, such as peaches, apples, and berries. Add a splash of vodka or orange liqueur. Serve over ice for a fruity and flavorful drink.
Aperol Spritz
This Italian cocktail is light and bubbly, made with Aperol, Prosecco (Italian sparkling wine), and a splash of soda water. Top with a squeeze of fresh orange and you’re all set! It’s a refreshing and slightly bitter drink that is perfect for sipping on a warm afternoon.
Gin and Tonic
A classic and simple choice, the gin and tonic combines gin with tonic water and a squeeze of lime. It’s a crisp and refreshing drink that can be customized with different types of gin, flavored tonics and infusions of fruits and vegetables. It’s simple, has a ton of variety and the aromatics will have you coming back for more.
Time to drink up! Remember to stay hydrated by alternating alcoholic beverages with non-alcoholic options and drink plenty of water to stay refreshed!
