Favourite Summer Cocktails
Summer has an uncanny ability to have us longing for a cocktail. It is not as if it is the only drink that has the ability to quench our thirst, a cool beer can do just that. But there is something about the combination of fruit, vodka and blended ice which gives us that holiday feeling and lets us know that Summer is finally here. It doesn’t matter whether we’re at a party, sitting outside a bar on a Saturday afternoon or lying by the pool on holiday, a cocktail seems to be almost always an appropriate Summer beverage. Of course, some cocktails are more preferable than others to help cool us down whilst tasting wonderful.
The Old Fashioned. The ingredients vary for this cocktail but it is often made up with Angostura, syrup and whiskey, with an orange twist. It is sweet and citrusy without being sickly. Sometimes, it will be poured over an ice glacier almost as big as the glass. It doesn’t melt as quickly as ice cubes which keeps the drink chilled a little while longer.
The Ginlet. A cocktail guaranteed to quench your thirst, it is made up of gin and Rose’s lime juice. Many puritans object to gin being used instead of vodka, as it often is, but in reality, they both are equally strong and can leave you feeling just as refreshed.
Sangria. A fabulous mix of wine and something with a little more kick. Although, fundamentally, it is nothing more than a traditional Spanish punch, it can taste different depending upon where you drink it as bartenders often like to be creative with this drink.
The Southside. Tastes just like a mojito with the only real difference being that rum is used instead of gin. A popular drink, it can be ordered from most popular bars. This is a great drink to have in hand when relaxing by the pool.
