Looking for easy summer cocktail recipes to try at your next summer shindig? Summertime calls for refreshing, light cocktails that are simple and fast to make. Don't you agree?
Easy Summer Cocktail Recipes Featuring Spindrift Sparkling Water
I prefer my cocktails slightly sweet with complex flavor combinations. The easiest way to make summer cocktails is to use a flavorful base liquid, a spirit that you love, and add another element that complements the base. I love Spindrift sparkling water as a base liquid for its light refreshing taste and becomes it's made with real fruit juice, with no added sugar.
These summer cocktail recipes are ones that I personally love. Which one would you make first? Let me know if the comments section!
