My Favourite Summer time Cocktails
For my $.02… I’m not an enormous wine particular person, however one thing about spring (and solely spring) says rosé to me… but when I’m at a restaurant providing a frosé in the summertime, I could indulge. Once I’m consuming wine a pleasant white undoubtedly feels extra summery than crimson. Apart from Beaujolais, which for some purpose I all the time affiliate with “fancy picnic wine,” and perhaps Lambrusco or sangria.
When it comes to cocktails, I like a grimy gin martini and can drink that 12 months spherical; ditto for an old style. But when there’s a Bee’s Knees on the cocktail menu or one other enjoyable drink involving lemon, elderflower, or honey syrup, these will typically get me additionally.
My Favourite Low- and Non-Alcoholic Summer time Drinks
So far as different libations go, I’ve by no means been an enormous fan of lemonade (regardless of my love for lemon, go determine). I’m extra more likely to seize a lemonade-flavored seltzer or a kombucha than a lemonade. I’ve been entering into mocktails lately, and I actually like a number of the lighter nonalcoholic beers from Athletic Brewing or BrewDog, and Clausthaler makes a tremendous grapefruit-flavored mocktail if you’ll find it. (I additionally like Fever Tree’s grapefruit soda.)
Once I’m feeling additional fancy, I nonetheless like to make the grapefruit-elderflower mocktail I shared in our roundup of 10 nice mocktails for Dry January… If I’m OK with having a low alcohol drink I’ll generally add only a splash of St. Germain to seltzer. We’re beginning to get into a couple of of the lower-alcohol issues like spiked seltzers, spiked kombucha, and ranch water, however we’re simply beginning as a result of it took me some time to recover from my Zima/”wine cooler” reminiscences. I’d like to know in case you have favorites.
(I additionally nonetheless make “unicorn juice” — hat tip to the readers for that one!)
