Cool Down With My Top Drink Recipes!

Published about 2 months ago • 1 min read

Cool Down with Homemade Drinks!

Hello Reader

It's been hot lately. As in, really hot. Uncomfortably hot.

So I've been looking for all possible ways I can be cooling down. And the best option I can come up with is a cold, refreshing drink. So I've rounded up my favourite summer sips that I know will keep things cool and delicious.

Perfect with friends, over a BBQ, or just when you are looking for a refreshing way to end a long, hot day!

🍹 Cherry Long Island Iced Tea - The classic long drink with a twist, and incredibly refreshing in the summer!

🍹 Blackberry Basil Lemonade - So delicious and refreshing with a unique combination of seasonal flavours!

🍹 Mango Mojito - Bursting with fruity flavours and a hint of mint, this cocktail is perfect for any summer occasion.

🍹 Passion Fruit Margarita - A classic margarita recipe plus exotic passion fruit juice, it’s lime-sour, passion-sweet, tequila-punchy, cool and ultra drinkable.

🍹 Mojito Spritz - As refreshing as its big brother, the minty Mojito, but with a little sparkle, this delectable cocktail is a real easy drinker.

🍹 Aperol Spritz - This classic Italian cocktail is both delicious and refreshing, the perfect refreshment for summer!

🍹 Rhubarb Moscow Mule - Deliciously refreshing cocktail classic Moscow Mule made even more alluring with the addition of rhubarb syrup!
