Sizzle Summer Drinks

I love summertime parties. If you are planning a party this summer, here are a few fruity signature drinks that would be great in this warm weather. 

Let me introduce you to the Kiwi Sapphire.
Ingredients:
1.25 oz Bombay Sapphire Gin
1.25 oz Sour Apple Pucker Schnapps
Splash of Sprite
1 kiwi
Ice

Peel and slice kiwi, then muddle with ice. Add gin and schnapps. Shake and pour into a glass. Then add a splash of Sprite. Garnish with a kiwi slice. 






Do you like lemons? Then why not add a little kick to your celebration by having Lemon Drop as your signature drink?
Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounce vodka
1/2 ounce Triple Sec
1 teaspoon of superfine sugar
3/4 ounce lemon juice

Mix vodka, Triple Sec, and lemon juice in a shaker filled with ice and shake until cold. Pour into a martini glass rimmed with the superfine sugar. Makes 1 drink. 




How about a classic? No one can resist a Pina Colada, especially if it's in a coconut shell.
Ingredients:
1 1/2 ounces of light rum
3 ounces pineapple juice
3 ounces coconut cream
crushed ice
fresh fruit to garnish

Pour all ingredients in a blender, pour into a coconut, and garnish with fruit.



If you have ever had a Mojito, you probably loved it. Summer is a great time to try new things. So I have a fantastic drink for you. Try a Mango Mojito. If you love tropical fruit like mangoes, you will love this drink.


Ingredients:
1 1/2 oz Mango Rum
3 oz club soda
1 lime wedge
4 mint leaves
ice

Muddle the mint leaves and lime wedge together. Then add Cruzan Mango Rum and club soda. Add ice and serve. Enjoy!
