If you’re looking for a delicious way to beat the heat these coming months, consider making one of these summer cocktails. From a fun golden twist on a classic Mai Tai to a citrusy, sweet spritz, these summer drinks offer a spectrum of colors and flavors whether spiked or not. Sip by the pool, enjoy during a beach sunset, or mix up in your backyard for a refreshing summer sipper.
All Gold Everything
Summer is most definitely underway and this fun and delicious twist on a Mai Tai is just what you need. Featuring the caramel notes of bourbon contrasted with a whimsical banana liqueur and Liber&Co’s Almond Orgeat Syrup that “imbues cocktails with divine flavor and aroma,” this cocktail will absolutely hit the spot in the searing summer heat.
Blood Orange Vanilla Spritz Mocktail
While we may no longer be in citrus season, this delicious Blood Orange Vanilla Spritz Mocktail is guaranteed to quench your thirst for a fun yet refreshing mocktail. Using Daysie's Madagascar Vanilla Syrup for a pure and natural sweetness, this mocktail is bright, sweet, tart, and has a fruity finish making it a wonderful, sweet treat.
Jack Rudy's Daytripper
This undeniably Southern cocktail is just what you need to brighten up a summer’s day. Jack Rudy's Daytripper cocktail is made with a bitter splash of vodka, enhanced by their classic Sweet Tea Syrup, aromatic Jack Rudy Lavender Bitters, and a dash of lemon juice for the perfect summer cocktail.
Agave Club
If you’re a fan of margaritas or simply enjoy a spicy cocktail from time to time, this elegant tequila-based cocktail is the perfect addition to your pre-dinner repertoire. The Agave Club contrasts the bitterness of tequila with the enriching, natural sweetness of agave in the Classic Gum Syrup from Liber&Co.
Juicy Carrot Cocktail
Our final summer cocktail recommendation is none other than the Juicy Carrot Cocktail from Rose Previte’s debut cookbook, Maydan: Recipes from Lebanon and Beyond. Combining the subtle sweetness of apricot with the earthy flavors of carrot and the zing of tequila, this cocktail combination is the summer sipper you didn’t know you were missing.
