Easy Summertime Cocktails


Summertime always brings sunshine, fun, and of course some fun drinks by the pool or at the beach. Time to kick your semester habits of drinking all the frat boys beer and sip on some delicious and refreshing summer drinks. Please note, these recipes are for readers 21 and older. Drink responsibly.

Wine Punch
What you'll need:
- Your favorite wine (I recommend a Pinot Grigio to offset the sweet flavors of the rest of the ingredients)
- Simply Lemonade-Raspberry
- Sprite
- Your favorite array of fruits

Simply mix 1 bottle of wine, 1 gallon of Simply Lemonade-Raspberry, and half a liter of Sprite. Feel free to freeze your fruit beforehand to ensure it's cold and delicious.

This recipe can also be adapted to a virgin drink by leaving out the wine.

Blue Margarita
What you'll need:
- Your favorite tequila
- Dekuyper Blue Curacao
- Sweet and Sour Mix (NOT Margarita mix)
- Sprite

In a pint glass, fill with ice. Mix 1 ½ ounces of tequila, ½ ounce of Dekupyer Blue Curacao, top with Sweet and Sour mix. Shake and top with a splash of Sprite. Garnish with a lime and orange slice.

Upon trying these drinks, feel free to snap pictures and comment below with your picture and thoughts. Enjoy responsibly!
