Summer Cocktail Recipes

Nothing hits the spot more than a refreshing cocktail on a hot summer afternoon. You know Dino and I love whipping up some drinks for us or any guests we may have and these have been our go-to recipes lately!

Aviation - Dino's fave, and he has turned so many others onto it too!

1 1/2 oz Gin
1/2 oz Lemon juice
1/2 oz Maraschino liqueur
Crème de violette or Creme Yvette

Cherry to garnish [ optional ]
Add all ingredients into cocktail shaker filled with ice. Shake well and strain into cocktail glass. Traditionally it is garnished with a cherry, but we leave it out!

Chelada (above) - We got our recipe from Sophie and James of Sophie James Wine , but most recipes for this are generally the same. It's simple and soooo darn good. The perfect Summer sipping cocktail!

12 oz of your favorite beer (light lagers work best, and my fave is Pacifico by far)

1 large lime, juiced

Celery Salt for the rim

Lime wedge to garnish

Salt your glass rim. Add the lime just to the glass. Add the beer. Top it off with your lime garnish.

Golden Hour (below) - This is our favorite cocktail from Whitney's on the island, so we mostly just eyeball and wing it for the recipe for this delightful bevvie.

Rye Whiskey

Mezcal

Pineapple juice

Lemon juice

Ginger

Jamaican Jerk Spice

Bring on Summah!
