Summer parties are much less of a hassle to put together than during the winter months. It's time for easy conversation, warm breezes, and plenty of good, seasonal food. That's why I love summer inspired cocktails. They seem to just make a party that much more fancy-even if served by the pool.
Cocktails have to be simple, highly flavorful, and worth savoring each sip. They are also tend to be a little lighter on the booze. It more about the interaction and less about the buzz, so I like my cocktails to be so luscious that they are super popular, but not for their hangover ability.
Enjoy any of these cocktails with your friends, and you may find a new favorite!
