Summer Cocktails You Need to Try

What a better way to cool down during the summer with a nice cocktail?! Here are some of my favorite summer cocktails that you need to try if you’re 21+ (if not, skip the alcohol to make them mocktails!)

Headhunter

I was intrigued by the name when I saw this on the drink menu at a local sushi joint but I’m so glad I tried it! This drink has rum, beer, lime juice, lemon juice, papaya juice, coconut milk, and orange juice. If you’re into fruity drinks, I totally recommend this one! Check out the recipe here.

Mojito

Mojitos are super refreshing because of the mint and lime. They’re also pretty easy to make which is why they’re a favorite of mine! You can also add fruit to them to make them sweeter and change the taste. Check out the original recipe here.

Sangria

You literally can’t go wrong with sangria. It’s the perfect party drink and is super simple to make. Just add freshly cut fruit (preferably oranges, apples and raspberries), add lemonade, a bottle of Chardonnay (or any white wine), a little bit of light rum and you’re good to go! It’s a crowd pleaser.

Moscow Mule

I’m a huge lover of ginger ale, so it’s no wonder why I like Moscow Mules. All you need is lime juice, ginger beer, and some vodka. Serve in a copper mug to keep it stylish!

Those are some of my favorite cocktails, what’s your favorite cocktail?! Let me know!

If you’re curious as to what you should pair some of these cocktails with, you’re in luck! SkinnyPop was kind enough to share this snack/drink pairing guide with me. Check it out!

Popcorn is such a light snack and it’s definitely a crowd pleaser. SkinnyPop is a guilt-free snack that doesn’t contain artificial ingredients, it’s non-GMO, gluten free and more!

I hope you enjoyed the post, thanks so much for reading, as always <3
