Introduction

Mark Roemer Oakland knows the height of summer has been reached when the blazing sun caresses your skin, and the gentle winds play with your hair. What is the only item that can turn a steamy summer day into something more alluring? When you are holding a refreshing cocktail that has been chilled. In honor of the season, these five mixed drinks use seasonal fruits (and vegetables), the majority of which can be purchased at the neighborhood farmer’s market during the summer.

Coconut Margarita (Foodie Crush)

When combined with other ingredients in a margarita, tequila’s clean flavor shines, especially when the weather is warmer. This one-of-a-kind take on the margarita features a tropical flavor achieved by adding an ounce of coconut cream in addition to the traditional amount of coconut milk. The creamy base, combined with Cointreau, lime juice, half-and-half, simple syrup, and the tequila of your choice, results in a drink that is virtually a hybrid of a pina colada, a White Russian, and a margarita. You won’t be let down in any way.

Tomato Mojito (The Chic Site)

It’s quite unlikely that you’ve ever considered including tomato in your drink (unless, of course, you’re making a bloody Mary). This somewhat savory twist on the classic mojito gives it its depth of flavor and makes it such a delectable cocktail. It is made using the traditional components of a mojito, such as tequila, sparkling water, mint, and simple syrup. However, it also contains a mixture of yellow and red grape tomatoes, lime wedges, and lemon, resulting in a sweet and refreshing cocktail.

Strawberry-Basil Lemonade (A Beautiful Mess)

A tall, ice-cold glass of lemonade is the quintessential summertime beverage. This is an updated and improved version of the classic you loved as a kid. To a container filled with lemonade, add a good splash of vodka or gin, a few sprigs of fresh basil, slices of lemon and strawberry, and stir. The finished product is a sour and sweet beverage that will satisfy your need for something to drink to quench your thirst, even on the hottest summer days. Instead of heading out to a restaurant for happy hour with your friends, make a large pitcher of the strawberry-basil lemonade, and each of you may serve a round.

Blueberry Mint Julep (How Sweet Eats)

There is only a brief period of time throughout the year when blueberries are at their peak of production, so it is crucial to make the most of this opportunity while it lasts. To make this delicious and sophisticated drink, visit a farm in the neighborhood and pick your own blueberries or purchase a pint of them at the local farmer’s market. You should begin by making your own simple syrup with mint and combine that syrup with some fresh blueberries to make a puree. The final step is to combine an ounce of mint simple syrup and an ounce of mint-blueberry puree with an ounce of bourbon and crushed ice. Finally, garnish the refreshing beverage with a few fresh mint leaves for an added touch of class.

Cucumber Cooler Cocktails (Minimalist Baker)

The sound of someone crunching on a cucumber during the summer is practically synonymous with the season. Feel free to tear into the cucumber slices that act as garnish when you have finished the last of this Cucumber Cooler. But first, assemble the drink by combining the gin, the tonic water, and a pinch of sugar in a glass. First, the mint leaves, lime wedges, gin, and sugar are muddled together. Next, the cucumber slices are added, and finally, the drink is finished off with tonic water. Mix everything, and then enjoy this refreshing drink that is a staple of the summer season.
