If you were looking for a hack to get over the scorching sun this summer, you’ve come to the right place. No prizes for guessing that our cheat code to most summer problems involves some fruitalicious cocktails.
Here are 5 summer cocktails to help you stay cool!
1. Watermelon Caipiroska
Watermelons are perhaps the best fruit to drive away the summer heat. And if you drink liquor, you’re in for an absolutely chiller treat with the Watermelon Caipiroska.
This drink is probably the easiest drink you’ll ever make. Just cut some watermelon, mash it with some sugar, add ice and vodka, and shake! That’s it! With the easy, comes the tough. If you ask us, the hardest part is controlling yourself so you don’t drink 20 of these.
2. Whiskey Lemonade
Nothing’s better in the summer than a good old lemonade. What makes for an even better drink is Whiskey Lemonade, an intoxicating concoction that is quite popular among those who like their cocktails strong.
As the name suggests, you’ll need some whiskey and lemon juice. The other ingredients include sugar syrup, soda and ice cubes. Top it off with a lemon slice and a few mint leaves, and you’re all set.
3. White Wine Sangria
It’s time to make the most of those leftover fruits and stir up a summer cocktail. Good things take time and rest assured, you’ll realize how good a white wine sangria you’ve made after the first sip goes down your throat.
All you need is some orange juice, apples, lime and oranges, vodka and white wine.
4. Mango Martini
How can we talk about summer cocktails and not mention mangoes? After all, that’s one of the few good things about the season.
Like all good martinis, what you need here is some good old vodka, puree from the ‘King of Fruits’, triple sec, ice and lime juice. Strain and pour it into a Martini glass and there you have it. Just reading all of this should make you want to rush straight to the market for some mangoes.
5. Spicy Blackberry Margarita
If you want to make a cocktail that packs a punch, with spice and a whole lot of flavour, look no further than the Spicy Blackberry Margarita.
All that’s required to make this tangy twister is tequila, blackberries, green chillies, fresh fruit, agave, orange juice, and lime. And the special ingredient that further adds to the spice are jalapenos. You’d be crazy to not include them.
Watch your taste buds run wild as you savour this to the very last sip.
