co*cktails are delicious all year round, but there’s nothing better on a hot summer day thansitting on your back porch sipping onan ice-cold, refreshing drink. Especially if said drink is made with some of the most aromatic, flavorful, and eye-catching fruits, vegetables, and herbs of the season.
Whether booze-filled or booze-free, summer drinks are some of my favorites, and I don’t think I’m alone. That’s why I’m sharing over 40 of some of the season’s most refreshing co*cktail and mocktail recipes from fellow RDs and food bloggers.
So grab your co*cktail shaker, muddler, or blender, and let’s get mixing! Cheers to the start of summer!
