46 Cooling Summer Cocktails
I adore trying new cocktails at any time 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!
RUM
Rum is a distilled alcohol made from sugarcane byproducts such as molasses or honey or made directly from sugar cane juices. It then goes through the process of fermentation and distillation. The majority of the world’s rum comes from the Caribbean and Latin America but also is produced worldwide now.
