Cool Drinks for Hot Summer Activities

There are so many great things you can do at the beach – whether water sports, building sand castles, attending parties night after night – but whatever you do, summer drinks should always be present, whether alcoholic or non-alcoholic. This may not be the perfect time to enjoy a hot cocoa drink with some cookies, but there are equally or probably even greater and tastier drink and food choices available during summer. Here are some alcoholic drink ideas and to complement your drink selection, read on for some summer party tips that you can do to make your summer as hot, or as cool, as possible.

Pina Colada is a classic favorite and no summer party should be without it. Whether during daytime or during the evening, pina colada is great when you get the right mix of light rum, coconut cream, crushed pineapple and served with a generous amount of crushed ice. You can also combine Jagermeister along with pineapple juice and coconut rum to make Surfer on Acid. Another classic favorite, margaritas, there are plenty of versions and mixes for this one but for the ultimate margarita mix, use any margarita mix and combine tequila, grand marnier and fresh lime juice. For a punch that will give you a kick and make you totally lose it, or at least be confused by the name, mix dark rum with coconut rum and half part of orange-pine concentrate. Blue Hawaiian is a refreshing drink with a kick made up of combined light rum, cherry, cream of coconut, pineapple juice and a pineapple slice – a total Hawaiian overload. Mojitos are good as they are straight off the bottle but you can also add more lime leaves, sugar, lime juice, spiced rum and soda water for a great new twist.

Complete your summer feast by having refreshing non-alcoholic treats like fruit shakes and pure fruit juices. For a poolside party, you can bring out your best cutleries and china and probably even some of your old but elegant wedding coasters to complement the wine glasses.

Make every summer something to look forward to not just for some beach summer fun but also the best time to experience the different drinks the liquor world has to offer. There will definitely be more innovations and more mixes available and do not limit your choices, great drink mixes are being made all over the world and it would definitely be fun to try those out too.
