Can you guys believe it’s already August?! This summer has seriously flown by! If you’ve already been sippin’ on cocktails and enjoying the sun this summer then keep on doing what you’re doing!! However, if you’re like me and can’t seem to sit down and relax … this post is dedicated to you!
I’ve gone ahead and gathered some of my all-time favorite summer drinks for you to try before the end of summer! So check them out, make yourself one … (or two 😉), RELAX, and soak up every last bit of summer … TRUST ME, you deserve it!!
1. Spiked Blackberry Lilac Lemonade
This Spiked Blackberry Lilac Lemonade is not only an amazing refresher by the pool but it’s also ridiculously pretty to look at! While lilacs are currently out of season this late in the summer you can easily skip this ingredient and it’ll still taste amazing!!
2. Nectarine Mojitos
Everyone loves a good Mojito and I’m telling you this Nectarine Mojito is to die for! I mean, who says you can’t get your daily fruit intake in a cocktail?! Not me … LOL!
3. Lavender Rosé Slush
If this Lavender Rosé Slush doesn’t scream summer I don’t know what does! This is what I call poolside perfection!! Feel free to get creative with the garnish on this cocktail, I love adding a sugared rim, florals, stems of lavender … etc!
4. Watermelon Jalapeño Margaritas
These Watermelon Jalapeño Margaritas have the perfect amount of sweet and spicy all at once, and will surely be the life of the party! However, be warned of that rhyme before you indulge in these … 1 tequila, 2 tequila, 3 tequila … DANCE FLOOR! LOL!
5. Grapefruit Rosemary Fros-eh
If you love a good slushie, (the adult version, of course😉) the Grapefruit Rosemary Fros-eh is the perfect pick for you!
6. Blood Orange French 75
This Blood Orange French 75 is perfect if you’re wanting to pop open a bottle of prosecco or bubbly! It’s so beautiful to look at and insanely easy to make!
7. Coconut Lemonade
If you haven’t tasted my coconut lemonade yet … there’s no time like SUMMERTIME to do so! Ps. Give it an adult kick with a shot of rum!
8. Blood Orange Margaritas
Let’s throw in another tequila cocktail in here for good measure, shall we?! If you’re not a fan of the watermelon jalapeno cocktail then give this Blood Orange Margarita a go!
These next two are also at the top of my summer cocktail list, their both delish Sangria recipes created by my cousin Tori from Fraiche Nutrition!
9. Pink Grapefruit White Wine Sangria
This Grapefruit Sangria is perfectly refreshing and great to serve at a BBQ or pool party!
10. Tropical Hibiscus Sangria
Just looking at this Hibiscus Sangria makes me feel like I’m somewhere tropical! It has the be one of the prettiest drinks ever, serve this to your guests and they will be so impressed!
Let me know in the comments below what drink you’re most excited to sip on and if you have any other favorite summer drinks that I need to know about!!
