Drinking while the glistening sun is still hanging over your head is nothing less than art – a real mastery. Suppose you venture to indulge in something unduly intoxicating even before the sundials silhouette slithers.
In that case, the technique you must deploy here to usher high spirits throughout a prolonged and sweltering afternoon is to present a calibrated drink. These cocktails will ensure to refresh and nurture you whether you are roistering at the cottage, garden, or pool.
Tom Collins
The ultimate drink which is the harmonious blend of gin, lemon juice, sugar, and fizzy water with a glorious heritage. The contemporary version of this avant-garde cocktail gave solace from those sultry afternoons and can be traced back to 1877.
Americano
This Italian cooler is your magic bullet if you are living your reverie of an outdoor table at Cafe Madeira in Milan. The perfect blend of Campari, sweet vermouth, and club soda. Whether it a hot afternoon at Cleveland, it does not matter; it promises you a smooth drink.
Mint Julep
A celestial amalgamation of mint, sugar, and bourbon. At the same time, the perfect julep is all about ice. Just like the significance of other ingredients, so is the ingredient ice equally important. While you decide whether to be at the fields, sip the julep and make the wise decision, despite the Kentucky Derby not running.
Tequila Sunrise
Discovered at the Agua Caliente racetrack in Tijuana, Mexico. It can be best described as the coalescence of tequila and orange juice, with a grenadine glimmer at the bottom of the glass. A Prohibition-era cocktail that ignites a myriad of extensive spring break wild parties. These are great when playing a game of cornhole.
Bloody Mary
Bloody has transcended into a lifestyle than a mere recipe for a quintessential bruncher. Just like how a tomato is inevitable in your quotidian recipes, the deadly combination of tomato juice and vodka has eternally reinvented a smash-hit recipe in the form of Bloody Mary.
Pimm’s Cup
The top-notch day-drinking cocktail. It does have an overtly British and traditional undertone, but the quick fix for those summer mornings. This can be made with a blend of lemon soda, fresh fruits like cucumbers, oranges, strawberries, and, ultimately, a mint garnish. At the same time, it is vital to have a tall crystal glass deluged with ice.
Moscow Mule
The classic day-drinking spirit, specifically if you want this to remain clandestine. The odourless and flavourless trait of vodka facilitates this anonymity. But if you are going to augment your fun, add in ginger beer and lime juice. Relish in that weekend dopamine rush.
