As the cold days are finally leaving us, we are starting to look forward to long, summer afternoons spent chilling by the pool soaking up the sun. Nothing screams the start of summer better than a pool party where everyone gets to enjoy the water, sunshine, and good food.
If you’re looking for drink ideas to get you in the mood for a pool party, these fun cocktail recipes are just what you need! Swap out the beer for these delicious cocktails that are perfect for sipping by the pool in the summer:
Tangy Margarita:
Start your menu with a classic drink perfect for the warm weather. This customizable cocktail is perfect for those who like to have the best of all worlds. You can make this fun cocktail in various flavors, and you don’t even need a whole pantry of ingredients to make it!
Firstly, run a lime wedge on the rim of your glasses and dunk it into a plate of salt. Once the rims are coated with salt, add large ice cubes to 3/4th of a cocktail shaker, and follow it with 3 oz. tequila, 2 oz. lime juice, 1 oz. simple syrup, ½ tsp of orange liqueur, and a cup of water. Secure and shake four times before you pour into your glasses.
Peach Sangria:
Impress your guests with this fantastic peach sangria. Wine lovers will love this drink as they lounge by the pool during the sunset. If you want bubbles, you can even replace the flat wine with a sparkling rosé. Here’s the recipe for one of these sassy drinks:
Use the backside of a spoon to press into sliced pears, peaches, strawberries, and pitted cherries to make them juicy. Add the fruit into a glass and squeeze a lemon wedge on top. Add 2 oz. triple sec followed by 4 oz. white or red wine. Stir gently, and garnish with a sprig of fresh thyme.
Blue Hawaiian:
This blue-colored beverage is a sight for sore eyes and tastes just as delicious as it looks. Perfect for pool parties, this drink matches the water’s shade so perfectly, you’ll keep going back for more!
To make one add ice cubes to a cocktail shaker, and over the ice, pour 3/4th oz. of vodka, 3/4th oz. of light rum, half oz. of blue curacao, 3 oz. of pineapple juice, and half oz of liquer. Give it a good shake before you pour it into a glass full of ice.
