10 Summer Cocktail Recipes For BBQ Season

10 Summer Cocktail Recipes For BBQ Season

'Tis the season to BBQ! The weekends are long, the sun is shining (most of the time anyway), and everyone is itching for a party. So why not throw one? 

Pick a date, mark your calendar and send out the invite to all of your friends and family. Then you've got to decide what's on the menu. Are you going to go with the classic homemade burgers and potato salad or are you going to go a little more outside the box? The choice is ultimately yours! 

And of course, no BBQ is complete without cocktails! Here are a few fabulous options for you to mix up before everyone arrives. (You may need to give yourself some time--some of these have a little prep work involved.) 

Watermelon-Tequila Cocktails

Mix a little Mexican flavor with some fresh summer fruit and you've got a masterpiece.

Rose Sorbet

This one is pretty, pink and wine-related. Who doesn't love that?

Ginger-Peach Soda

Pick up some fresh summer peaches for this one! 

White Sangria

Everyone knows and loves a classic red sangria, but white is more refreshing and doesn't stain your teeth for party photos!

Vodka-Thyme Lemonade

It'll cool your party guests off and the presentation is easy... and sort of fabulous.

Coconut Margaritas

Worlds collide with this one as you stir up island flavor and a little spice from down south. 

Mint & Raspberry Julep

This one's for the whiskey lovers out there.

Michelada

When beer and cocktails meet they call it a "beer-tail"!

Blueberry Cucumber Gimlet

Fresh berries, cucumber, mint and gin... muddled to perfection.

Green Tea and Orange Cooler

Unique and refreshing--and booze free (so great for kid-friendly events)!

Hot tip: Use your My Cinema Lightbox to welcome your guests to the event, or even snap a photo and share it in the invitation, just like our customers have done!
