Summer Mixed Drinks? What’s the difference between summer Mixed drinks and just mixed drinks? Well, allow me to inform you, fine individuals, that no, it is not simply a basis on when you are enjoying the beverage. Summer Mixed Drinks follow the same theme as any other summer drinks in general. These Summer Mixed Drinks will be refreshing and light while still giving you that buzz you’re looking for. This allows you to have some options that will keep you cool without sacrificing your drinking needs throughout the season that is so detrimental to that ice in your glass.
Starting off this list of Summer Mixed Drinks strong we have a pineapple juice and grenadine infused drink that is sure to help you cool down this summer. A beautiful vibrant yellow color will greet you with this mixed drink and sweet tropic vibes will come off of the smell immediately. Where this cocktail really shines, is that it has a few other optional touches up ingredients to really make it shine. This can include various bitters, with high stress on orange bitters being a very common addition that gives the drink a little extra pop.
White rum accompanied with sugar and mint make an absolute mouth-watering Summer Mixed Drink that no individual should go without. Plus, the drink in general just has a refreshing look to it. Its appearance is always accompanied by a healthy amount of ice and some fresh green color mixing in with a clear liquid base. Walking upon the drink can genuinely be confused for a leafy infused glass of sprite or another lemon/lime soda. If that doesn’t give you refreshing vibes on a hot summer day, I don’t know what will.
Gin in general with Summer Mixed Drinks can almost always be a win condition. The reason for this being the herbal flavor profile that the liquor puts off from the get-go. Accompanying this already renowned spirit comes to a sour mix and a splash of cherry juice. What this all culminates into is a tart and mildly sour beverage that has a smooth and refreshing alcohol follow up after having a sip.
If you’re a tequila lover, you’re going to involve this lovely creation in your list of refreshing Summer Mixed Drinks. Ginger beer, quality tequila, cane sugar, and fresh lime juice will be your weapons of choice when concocting this great-tasting cocktail on the fields of mixology. I feel that Tequila gets a bad wrap from first-timers and generally can be a hart spirit to open yourself up to unless you’re leading off with it, this cocktail can be a great stepping stone for getting into drinking.
Again, bringing gin into the mix with any kind of Summer Mixed Drinks is an immediate positive. But when you accompany the sweet and tartness of raspberries to the mix, you come to meet one of the best-tasting varieties of gin cocktails that you’ll have this summer.
Orange liqueur, fresh lemon juice, and a quality cognac- That’s all you need to have a wonderful addition to your list of Summer Mixed Drinks. While this drink is simple in terms of the number of ingredients, it actually has quite the complex flavor profile. Obviously, it is citrus heavy in both immediate taste and smell, but how that in turn blends and pairs with the cognac is where the magic really happens. It is a liquor that pairs quite well with these summer flavor staples and will be sure to be a big hit at your next gathering of choice.
DO NOT DISRESPECT THE BASIL! Summer Mixed Drinks deserve the same amount of respect as any other mixed drinks so be sure to pay this one what it deserves. If you are interested in refreshing summer drinks while getting a bit of a sweetness going-this is the drink for you. Strawberry lemonade with a hint of basil and a nice warm bourbon kick- what more could you need? In all seriousness though, definitely get some fresh basil to garnish this drink with, it really brings all the flavors together while giving a little bit of that green herby taste to the mix too.
