The Ultimate Summer Cocktail List

It's summer time and I'm sure we're all feeling the heat this year more than ever! What's better than having a couple of refreshing glasses of cocktail to keep it chill? Here we have put together a few summer cocktail recipes that we have tried and absolutely loved! These eye catching drinks taste just as good as they look, and are easy to make, definitely a party pleaser!

1. Pineapple Mango Rum PunchPineapple Mango Rum Punch

Ingredients for Pineapple Mango Rum Punch (servings 1 cocktail)

  • 3 oz of pineapple coconut juice
  • 3 oz of coconut rum (you can also use light or dark rum here instead)
  • 1 oz of mango juice
  • 1 oz of orange juice
  • splash of grenadine (mainly just for looks)
  • lime slices and/or orange zest for garnish
  • edible flowers for garnish

How to Make Pineapple Mango Rum Punch

Combine all juices (pineapple coconut, mango, and orange) and rum. Then stir. Pour over ice and add a splash of grenadine for color. The grenadine will fall to the bottom and give the drink a pretty ombre look. Then, add lime, orange zest, and edible flowers for garnish.
