Our Top 5 Summer Drinks

1. Strawberry Daiquiri: The OG Frozen Favorite

Cue the Miami Vice theme because nothing screams summer like a frosty Strawberry Daiquiri. This drink is basically a vacation in a glass- juicy strawberries, zesty lime, and just the right amount of sweetness. It’s the kind of drink that makes you want to put on your loudest Hawaiian shirt and dance like nobody’s watching.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh or frozen strawberries
• 1/4 cup lime juice (fresh, always)
• 1/4 cup of simple syrup
• 1/2 cup of white rum (or omit the rum for a mocktail)
• 1 cup ice

Instructions:

1. Toss everything in a blender.
2. Blend until smooth.
3. Pour into a chilled glass, add a strawberry garnish, and start the steel drums.

The Strawberry Daiquiri is a classic for a reason: it’s easy, it’s refreshing, and it’s the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

2. Mojito: Minty Freshness for Hot Days

If you’ve ever grown mint in your garden, you know it multiplies like TikTok trends. Put that mint to work with a mojito, a Cuban classic that’s as cool as the other side of the pillow. This drink is all about balance: the zing of lime, the sweetness of sugar, the herbal kick of mint, and the crispness of rum (or sparkling water for a mocktail).

Ingredients:

• 10 mint leaves
• 1/2 lime, wedged
• 2 tablespoons white sugar
• 1 cup ice
• 1 1/2 ounces white rum
• Club soda

Instructions:

1. Muddle mint, lime, and sugar in a glass.
2. Fill with ice, pour in the rum, and top with club soda.
3. Stir, garnish with more mint, and channel your inner Havana nights.

Mojitos are the drink of choice for anyone who wants to cool down and stay refreshed, whether you’re at a backyard BBQ or just binge-watching summer blockbusters.

3. Watermelon Margarita: Summer’s Sweetest Sip

Watermelon is basically summer’s official fruit, and when you blend it into a margarita, you get a drink that’s as Instagrammable as it is delicious. This twist on the classic margarita is sweet, tart, and the perfect shade of pink for your next pool party.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh watermelon, cubed
• 1/4 cup lime juice
• 1/4 cup tequila (or swap in sparkling water for a mocktail)
• 1 tablespoon agave syrup
• Ice

Instructions:

1. Blend watermelon until smooth, then strain.
2. Combine watermelon juice, lime, tequila, and agave in a shaker with ice.
3. Mix, pour over ice, and add a lime wedge for garnish.

Add a jalapeño slice for a spicy kick if you’re feeling bold- think Beyoncé at Coachella, but with more hydration.

4. Aperol Spritz: The Trendy Euro Classic

If you’ve scrolled through Instagram anytime in the last five years, you’ve seen the Aperol Spritz—those bright orange drinks that look like sunset in a glass. This Italian classic is bubbly, bittersweet, and low-key enough to sip all afternoon.

Ingredients:

• 3 ounces of prosecco
• 2 ounces of Aperol
• 1 ounce of club soda
• Orange slice for garnish

Instructions:

1. Add ice to a wine glass.
2. Add prosecco, Aperol, and club soda.
3. Gently stir, add an orange slice for garnish, and imagine you’re on the Amalfi Coast.

The Aperol Spritz is the drink for anyone who wants to keep it classy while still having a good time- think Emily in Paris, but with fewer questionable fashion choices.

5. Piña Colada: The Ultimate Tropical Escape

If you like piña coladas (and getting caught in the rain), this one’s for you. The Piña Colada is the ultimate tiki drink- creamy coconut, sweet pineapple, and enough vacation vibes to make you forget about your inbox.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup pineapple chunks (fresh or frozen)
• 1/2 cup coconut cream
• 1/2 cup white rum (or coconut water for a mocktail)
• 1 cup ice

Instructions:

1. Blend everything until smooth.

Pour the mixture into a hurricane glass, add a garnish of a pineapple wedge and cherry, then cue up the yacht rock playlist.

Piña Coladas are the drink equivalent of a tropical getaway, with no passport required.

Honorable Mentions: Because Summer’s Too Short for Just Five

There are so many more summer drinks that deserve a shoutout:

• Frozen Aperol Spritz: Like the classic, but slushier and even more refreshing.
• Strawberry-Mint Sangria: Wine, fruit, and mint, what’s not to love?
• Frosé: Blended frozen rosé wine for the ultimate “rosé all day” experience.
• Paloma: Tequila, grapefruit, and lime, simple, tart, and oh-so-refreshing.

Pro Tips for Next-Level Summer Sipping

• Garnish Like a Pro: Fresh herbs, citrus wheels, and even edible flowers can take your drinks from “nice” to “whoa, did you hire a bartender?”
• Batch It Up: Make big pitchers for parties- sangria, spritzes, and punches are perfect for sharing.
• Mocktail Magic: Every recipe here can be made non-alcoholic; swap in sparkling water, coconut water, or non-alcoholic spirits.
