3 Delicious Summer Cocktails to Refresh You

It’s the last Thursday of July and time for sharing some wonderful recipes. Marty of A Stroll Thru Life is our hostess for this fun gathering of recipes. And since we are in the deep heat of July, I decided to share some cocktails to cool you off. All the other budget~friendly recipes are at the end of the post.

All 3 of these delicious summer cocktails have one thing in common ~ they will cool you off.

Let’s start with a classic margarita.

THE BEST MARGARITA EVER

The margarita is the most popular cocktail in America. It even has its own national day ~ in February!

Sweet Shark makes the best ever. So good, in fact, that I don’t even order one in a restaurant. I have my margaritas at home ~ made for me by my personal bartender.

Margaritas do require a bit of finesse and the freshest ingredients and really good tequila. Sweet Shark and I take you through making his marvelous margarita from start to finish. Just follow the post and the recipe. Save the recipe for all your future celebrations.

A DRINK WITH SOME HEAT ~ THE CLEMENTINE COCKTAIL

If you like some heat in your drink ~ not the temperature kind, but the spice kind ~ then this cocktail is for you. Sweet Shark found the recipe for this cocktail in our local newspapers in 2015. It’s become one of his and our older daughter’s favorites.

A pretty combination of red pepper and green basil makes the colorful garnish. The pepper adds the heat and the basil provides a pretty green color.

I can’t take the heat, so I just admire how pretty this cocktail is.

LET’S ENJOY SUMMER WITH THE TROPICAL PIÑA COLADA

I love the sweetness and the tropical flavors of the Piña Colada. This recipe is Sweet Shark’s version ~ he loves to tweak recipes that he finds.

Tropical cocktails often feature rum. I love the slushy, frosty texture. The combo of coconut and pineapple flavors evokes the breezes of a tropical beach.
