Are you ready for Memorial Day Weekend? It’s this week! And with the holiday comes barbecues, which we can’t wait for. While there’s no doubt that the grilled meat is the star of the barbecue, no summer party is complete without cocktails. We’ve got our five favorite ones that will we liven up the party.

Gin and Tonic

Gin and Tonics are super refreshing and they’re couldn’t be easier to make. All you need is gin, tonic water, fresh lime juice, a lime wedge, and ice.

Margarita

Another summer classic, margaritas are sweet, sour, and salty. There are tons of variations of margaritas, but this one uses tequila, orange liqueur, lime juice, and a lemon wedge.

Mojito

Mojitos are light and rum-based refreshing drinks that also have club soda, fresh mint, sugar, lime, and ice. They’re a great way to use the fresh mint you’ve been growing.

Lemonade Shandy

This combination of beer and lemonade makes for a delicious drink that only has two ingredients. The sweet and sourness of the lemonade offsets the bitterness of the beer perfectly.

Tequila Sunrise

Tequila Sunrises will impress all your guests as it’s super visually appealing. Don’t forget to add cherries for garnish.
