]]> If you like piña coladas and getting caught in the rain, you have very popular taste. It seems as though the pineapple and coconut cocktail was the most popular drink of the summer, based on findings by analyst company CGA. Data from the company showed the cocktail rocket from 17th to 9th spot on its list of Top 30 cocktails, thanks to an 87% increase in orders over the season. 

If you’re planning to be pool-side, make sure you have a piña colada in hand. Rainstorm optional.

Ingredients:

  • ½ cup pineapple, diced
  • 2 ounces pineapple juice
  • 2 ounces coconut cream
  • 1 ½ ounces white rum
  • 1 ounce dark rum
  • 1 ½ cups ice
  • Pineapple slices

Instructions:

  1. Place the diced pineapple in the freezer, and allow it to freeze for 3 hours. 
  2. Once frozen, add the pineapple to a blender with the juice, coconut cream, white rum, dark rum, and ice. Blend until smooth and frosty. 
  3. Pour the drink into 2 glasses and garnish the rim with pineapple slices.

]]> Eva Longoria has come up with the hottest drink of the season! The Texas native took to social media to share her version of what is known as “ranch water”. The viral drink features sparkling mineral water, tequila, and lime, but the Desperate Housewives star has put her own spin on it—using her own tequila, of course—and we think it’s even better. 

Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle Topo Chico
  • 1 ounce Casa Del Sol Blanco Tequila
  • Splash of grenadine
  • Lime wedge
  • Splash of grapefruit juice

Instructions:

  1. Drink some of the Topo Chico so there is space in the bottle to add the other ingredients. 
  2. Pour in the tequila, grenadine, and grapefruit juice.
  3. Stuff in a lime wedge and mix. 
  4. Enjoy!

]]> We know, we know, when you’re in the mood to enjoy a cocktail, ways to add vegetables is probably the last thing on your mind, but hear us out. Vegetables can be a delicious way to keep things fresh when you’re looking for a beverage that isn’t too sweet. Cucumbers are great to make a drink more refreshing, and a little bit of jalapeno pepper can add the perfect kick. Grab some ice and a shaker, round up your friends, and serve these veggie-filled cocktails at your next summer gathering.

Skinny Spicy Margarita

This spicy margarita by Mary’s Whole Life uses fresh, clean ingredients to create a delicious cocktail perfect for sipping by the pool. Honey simple syrup provides a wonderfully sweet complement to hot jalapenos while a twist of lime keeps that classic margarita flavor.

Blueberry Cucumber Gimlet

Fresh and fruity combine in this updated take on a classic drink by Gastronom Cocktails. Blueberries muddled with cucumber and lime make for a stunning purple color, which topped with a sprig of mint creates a cocktail that looks as good as it tastes.

Carrot Juice Bloody Mary

There’s nothing wrong with the classic Bloody Mary per se, but we’d be lying if we said it doesn’t make us feel a bit like we’re drinking pasta sauce. In this cocktail by Paleo Gluten Free Guy, tomato juice is replaced by carrot juice for a slight sweetness and a lighter flavor.

]]> There are few things we enjoy more come summer than relaxing by the pool or on the beach with a cold drink. We love a piña colada, and you can never go wrong with a strawberry daiquiri on a hot day, but sometimes we’re in the mood to mix it up a little. While there’s nothing wrong with sticking to the classics, if you’re looking to add some new drinks to your rotation, why not give one of these refreshing new cocktails a try? Sip them solo or prepare a pitcher and invite the neighbors to make it a poolside party.

Pineapple Margarita

Monique from Peaches to Peaches puts a summery spin on a classic cocktail by making her margaritas with pineapple. Serve it on the rocks or blend with ice for a refreshing drink that’s sure to hit the spot.

Raspberry Vodka Soda

Raspberries are in season from May to September, so what better way to use them up in July than by throwing them into this cocktail by Drinks by Evie? It’s also easily made kid-friendly by omitting the alcohol. 

Watermelon Gin Fizz with Mint

Few things say summer as much as watermelon, and this delicious watermelon mint cocktail by Serendipity by Sara Lynn is one of our favorites. Fresh lime juice and seltzer give it a perfect summery twist.
