This list is filled with everything from margaritas and mojitos for Mexican night at home, to bloody marys for lazy Sunday brunch. These recipes are filled to the brim with fresh summer fruits like strawberry, watermelon, blueberry, lemon, blackberry and more. And of course the summertime combo we can’t get enough of—pineapple and coconut—is starring in a few drinks that will quench your thirst on a hot day.
How To Stock Your Bar In the Summer
If you’re looking to be the best backyard bartender around, you will want to make sure your liquor cabinet is as ready for summer as your patio. Some of the liquors you will want on hand to mix the best drinks around are:

While you’re shopping for the ultimate summertime bar, don’t forget to grab some fun straws, drink umbrellas, an ice bucket, beer for those who don’t want a cocktail, and maybe some non-alcoholic syrups to make kiddie mocktails too!
What’s The Most Popular Summer Cocktail?
Hands down, the drink that stands above the rest when it comes to being loved and craved in the hot summer months is the classic margarita. But don’t think for one second I only found you a lime version. This collection has fruity margaritas with kiwi, watermelon, orange and passion fruit. I also found one made with heirloom tomatoes for when your garden is bursting with produce. Plus a couple spicy versions to put a little kick into our summertime sipping!
Best Summer Cocktail Recipes
When it comes to the best cocktail recipes for summer, I love the vibrant blue color of the Ocean Breeze—it reminds me of something you would drink while watching the waves crash against the shore. The Casa Red White and Blue is the epitome of patriotic perfect for your 4th of July bash! The Cherry Cola Bourbon Slush can double as dessert and cocktail. The Tipsy Mermaid Rum Punch is as fun as the name sounds, and will have everyone at your pool party asking for the recipe. These next few months will give us so many chances to get outside and enjoy great food, good friends and even better drinks! This summer, make sure the cocktails are cold and taste like summer with every single sip.
