Summers are an enormous son of a beach. The only remedy for this heat, apart from the air conditioner running 24×7, are cocktails that have the capability of giving you a brain freeze. How satisfying is it to sit by the pool with a drink in one hand, shades on, and judging people around you oh-so-discreetly. Ain’t that the dream? Unsobered is right around the corner of this boulevard of broken dreams. We present you 5 cocktails that are to die for, especially when you feel that you can cook an egg on top of your head.
You scream melon, I scream melon, Watermelons: These babies are a boon to mankind by nature. How are we even supposed to survive if not for them? There are some ridiculously good cocktails that can be prepared with this sweet watery fruit. Throw some chunks of watermelon in a blender, some vanilla flavored vodka, triple sec and churn like your life depends on it. Pour it in a classy flute glass. Before you starting sipping on it, add a little champagne as a cherry on top of the cake.
Sangrias FTW: Wine is multi-purpose and nothing can beat the satisfaction you get after sipping on some chilled wine. What’s better than wine? Sangrias, of course. Sangria recipes have been followed for eons now and we have the ideal cocktail for you thirsty sloths, which is a classic one with a modern twist. With some mango juice, brandy, wine and hennessy (yes the same one in One Dance); this makes for mouth-watering Sangrias on a good summer afternoon.
Berrylicious: Gin and berries are the best combination to cool you off this sunny season. Created by the great and adorable Jamie Oliver himself, this cocktail is fresh, filled with herbs, and replenishes your throat. With some frozen blackberries, Juniper berries, lime cut into pieces, rosemary, soda water and a small amount of sugar, you get your perfect mix. We missed the main ingredient; some good ol’ Bombay Sapphire Gin does wonders to this sexy cocktail.
Let’s get tropical: Summers are all about the sun, flowers, beaches and all that jazz. So we have the perfect tropical drink for you. Pineapples and tequila, of course, are good enough to get you buzzed. Tangy, fresh and bright, this cocktail is made with jalapenos, pineapple, tequila, lime juice and sugar to balance out the citrus. So get your beachwear and sip on this delectable cocktail.
Peachy and beachy: Herbaceous and filled with peachy goodness, this drink will get you in the island zone. Mixed with champagne and moonshine, it’s an alcoholic’s dream. If you aren’t aware about moonshine already, firstly-why bro, secondly – it is home distilled whisky or rum which has higher alcohol content than any other store bought spirit. Adding a couple of basil leaves and lime along with sugar gives it that zippy freshness to get rid of this extreme torridity.
