Top Refreshing And Tasty Summer Cocktails That You Should Try

Summer is in full swing, and you're looking to kick back and have a cold one. While not everyone likes to drink, there are a handful of people who love cocktails. They are easy to make, and all it takes is the right ingredients and some mixing to come up with a drink that can be enjoyed with friends and family. While the best summer cocktails can differ from person to person, some are almost always a hit. The following are some of the best summer cocktails you can enjoy this summer and all year long.

A Sangria is a beverage made from red wine and some type of fruit, such as strawberries, apples, peaches, or cherries, and often flavored with citrus juices, various spices, and liqueurs. In fact, this cocktail recipe is one of the most well-known worldwide. The word sangria literally means "blood of the sun" and comes from the Spanish word sangre, which means "blood," and refers to the color of the wine. Sangria is typically consumed as a light, fruity drink in the summertime. It is the epitome of summer with the fruits, and it symbolizes having a great time.

Whiskey is a sadly neglected spirit for the summer because when people think of the sun, their thoughts immediately turn to clear spirits like gin or tequila. However, the whiskey smash is a delicious drink made by mixing whiskey with ice lemon and mint. It has a smooth and refreshing taste and is perfect for a warm summer night. Fortunately, it can be made easily at home, and you can even make it with any whiskey you have on hand.

This is quite simply the quintessential summer drink. It is fresh, delicious, and it has tonic in the name, so it must be good for you! The Gin and Tonic is a classic combination of two trendy drinks. In fact, the Gin and Tonic have long been referred to as the 'perfect drink.' People of all ages and walks of life love the Gin and Tonic. The best part is that it is straightforward to make, and everyone will love you when you come bearing a round of this cocktail.

Let me introduce you to the mojito. It is a mix of three different spirits, usually rum, vodka, and fresh lime juice. Sometimes they add sugar, and sometimes they don't. But the basics are there. It is fun, delicious, and can quench even the mightiest thirsts. Allegedly made popular by the famous Ernest Hemingway during his time in Cuba, this drink is a staple and is enjoyed by all who imbibe it.

If you haven't heard of White Wine Spritzers, you have been missing out. They are the perfect summer drink. They are a fun, refreshing way to cool off during the warm months. A White Wine Spritzer is pretty simple at its roots: it is a mixture of White Wine and a citrus soda such as Sprite or 7-Up, but simple club soda is often used. These days, White Wine Spritzers can be made with various types of wine, as each wine has its own unique flavor properties that can be used to enhance the flavor of the drink. It is an excellent addition to a more sophisticated summer party as the soda element mildly dilutes the wine so that your guests can drink more.

Incredibly boozy and sweet, but also very delicious and...boozy, which can never be a bad thing! A Singapore Sling is a drink that originated in Singapore, and it's a popular worldwide cocktail. It's made with Sarsaparilla bitters, a mixture of a few different types of bitters, including Angostura. A newer combination has a sweeter, fruitier taste and is made with an apple instead of pineapple.

A Piña Colada is a famous drink made with pineapple juice, rum, and coconut cream. The coconut cream is added to the glass to give it a creamy texture and a rich coconut flavor. In this drink, rum is the primary ingredient. It is often served frozen and in a hollowed-out pineapple, which makes it more enjoyable.

To finish up, we have included perhaps the most summeriest cocktail available to humankind; the Frosé. It is essentially rosé wine blended together with frozen strawberries, creating a delightful summer cocktail that all can enjoy. It is nice and straightforward to create and a fantastic option for parties. The rose can be stored chilled and the strawberries frozen, meaning that it can be made fresh and fast when someone wants one.

Summer is a time to kick back and enjoy yourself and to pat yourself on the back for surviving another dreary winter. The best way to do this is by inducing a flavorsome cocktail with friends and family while soaking in the sun.
