Hey VZLover,
As the hottest day of the year approaches and we start having people over for picnics in the park or barbecues, the best way to go is a summery mixed drink.
Today we want to give you 3 recipes of different cocktails for summer that will have your guest voting you Host of the Year:
1. Margarita:
Ingredients
- 1 oz. Cointreau
- 2 oz. silver tequila
- 1 oz. lime juice
- coarse salt
Directions
Chill a cocktail glass, and then rub its rim with lime juice and dip it in salt. Add tequila, lime juice, Cointreau, and ice together in a cocktail shaker. Shake, then strain into the glass over some ice and enjoy.
2. Mojito:
Ingredients
- 2 oz. white rum
- 1 tsp. superfine sugar
- 1/2 oz. lime juice (squeezed fresh)
- club soda or seltzer
- 3 mint leaves
Directions
In a smallish glass, first muddle lime juice with 1/2 to 1 tsp. superfine sugar. Add the mint leaves, pressing them against the side of the glass. Fill glass 2/3 with cracked ice and pour in the rum. Add in the squeezed-out lime shell and top off with club soda or seltzer.
3. Piña Colada:
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 oz. rum
- 1 oz. coconut cream
- 3 oz. pineapple juice
- ice
Directions
Start with the rum, then add the unsweetened pineapple juice (you can put in some crushed pineapple), and coconut cream in a blender. Add 5 or 6 ice cubes. Pour into your glass of choice and finally garnish with whatever you like.
Enjoy your summer evenings with any of these drinks, stay #BralessAndFlawless and always Drink Responsibly. ;)
