Summer Cocktail Recipes

4 Fun Summer Cocktail Recipes Every Host Should Know

With summer comes heat, and with heat comes drinks. When you are entertaining guests, it’s all about making them feel comfortable. What’s the best way to beat the heat and satisfy your guests’ thirst at the same time? Drinks. But not just any plain old drinks, we’re talking party drinks.

We believe that every hostess that claims she has the mostest needs a few go-to party drinks that will lighten the mood, taste great, and look good while doing it (yes, we're still talking about the drinks here). We have listed a few of our favorite summertime recipes to help cool down your guests, but we recommend picking one or two to perfect and have them be your go-to. If you are known to have the best Bloody Mary on the block, we can’t see how that is a bad thing, can you? Keep in mind that these will be based on a summertime vibe, so you might want to do some independent research for your other seasonality specialties.

With these recipes at hand, you should be able to satisfy any guest. You might have noticed some of these favorite formulas call for some hardware, but you’re in luck. Our bartender set and ice bucket give you everything you need to cook up these clever concoctions (well, besides the alcohol, and the ice, and the fruit, and th- okay you know what we meant). The best part about serving up party drinks is that it takes some practice to get them just right. So, you’re not drinking by yourself, you’re just practicing being the best hostess you can be! Don’t listen to the haters. Chase your dreams.
