These HAPPY BEVERAGE suggestions are a few favorites of mine for Summer Cocktails. There are dozens more but on the top of my list are the frozen ones and you can't miss serving a glass of fruit sangria which is one of my favorites.
When we decide to do a little entertaining I will pick one or two of this type fun beverage for a summer HAPPY beverage.
l. Tommy Margarita. The healthier version is made with tequila, agave syrup and fresh lime.
2. Mojito. This refreshing Cuban cocktail is made with white rum, sugar, meddled mint leaves and soda.
3. Summer Breeze (I remember this one) Great as a punch, this concoctions has vodka OJ, cranberry juice and fresh fruit.
4. Gin and Tonic. Give it a herbal twist with a garnish of a sprig of rosemary.
5. Raspberry Beer. Mix beer, frozen raspberries and raspberry lemonade in cute glass jars.
6. Collins Cooler: Tangy and refreshing; vodka, grapefruit juice, tonic and lots of ice, garnished with fresh grapefruit.
7. Whiskey sour: Add a good amount of ice and take out the egg white to focus on the lemon zestiness.
