Nice weather always gets you in the mood for hanging out in the warm weather, relaxing in the shade with an ice cold cocktail ... well that's how it works for me anyway! My ultimate favorite summertime cocktail is a Margarita of practically any type, however if I'm in the mood for a stronger one, I'll opt for a patron margarita!
I did a little research and saw that Margaritas [a drink made up of classic tequila cocktail, lime juice, sugar, and cointreau, with optional salt on the rim of the glass!] are on the top of the list of Summer Cocktails! Watermelon Margaritas are the perfect summertime combination! Watermelon always shines as the best summer fruit and is also one of the tastiest, healthiest treats!
Here are some of the contenders of great Summer Cocktails!
1. The Ultimate Lemonade
Lemonade and summer go hand in hand! But now try your lemons with a twist! Throw some vodka in that mix, and serve yourself an "ultimate lemonade" ... I've had this at a restaurant last summer sometime and it was GREAT! It was sweet, very chilling, and not heavily saturated in alcohol! You can also substitute limeade for the lemonade, or even both if you have daring taste buds!2. Mojito
CLASSIC! That's enough verbiage to sum this drink up! Made up of a balanced mix of mint, lime, sugar, rum and club soda! I had my very first mojito this past month in Aruba! My brother forced me into trying it after I was convinced it would be this disgusting mint flavor, but nope! It was great! The presentation is beautiful, and the drink itself is quenching!
3. "Ciroc Chic"
I hadn't heard of it until now, but I will definitely give this a try! Ciroc has become my vodka of choice since the Redberry flavor came out and I have been hooked since! It's made with the fresh blend of pineapple and pomegranate juices blended with, of course, Ciroc vodka!4. Sidecar
This drink has such a "drink me" appeal!! I would love to taste this! The sugar rim, makes me first think that this drink is sweet, then to know there is lemon juice packed inside makes it all the better! The other beverages are cognac and cointreau!
5. Aviation
Cool name huh?! I've never tried it, but I'm really interested! This drink just looks so cool! Mainly because it doesn't look like it has an overwhelming alcoholic taste! This drink is made up of gin sour with cherry liqueur!
