46 Cooling Summer Cocktails
I adore trying new cocktails at anytime of the year but a perfect sipper on the porch is always welcome on a hot day. This is why I bring you 46 Cooling Summer Cocktails today!!
Do you like rum, vodka or prefer gin or tequila? We even have a lot of wine cocktails to choose from for something a bit lighter. Either way there are lots of libations to wet your whistle on a hot day. When having a party or get together I love serving up something unique or an old time classic that people may not have had in a long time.
Enjoy these cocktails and pair them up with 18 Easy Cold Party Appetizers. Your guests will be raving and you will be, oh yeah, it was nothing to pull together! Some of these cocktails have very few ingredients, so you also won’t be breaking the bank serving them up!

YES! Cocktails are my favorite part of summer! Nothing beats cooling down with a drink that has a bit of a kick on a hot day.
I’d love to personally make my way through this cocktail list!!!
WOW! What a wide selection of cocktails! They all look so delicious! Mojito Slush looks good!
Those sound so delicious and refreshing! I’d like to try the Peach Crisp cocktail!
I have found that rum is my all time fave alcohol. I love it in a Hurricane and a Blue Hawaiian.
I like a good rum cocktail in the summertime. It just makes me think of beaches and days on the boat!
All of these look so amazing. I’d love to give many of these a try. I could really go for one of them right about now.
Oh my yum! These all look so good. I don’t know which one I want to try first.
all of those look amazing. i could use one or three right now.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen so many amazing drinks in one post. I’m up for anything in a martini glass.
My favorites are any with watermelon in them. Can’t get any more refreshing than that in the summer!
Wow, those really do look refreshing! I tend to be more of a Rum gal, but I do love margaritas! There are several cocktails you’ve posted that I really need to have – not all at the same time though! haha
OH my! These all look so delicious! I would love to try every one!
