The days are long and the weather is hot so kick back with a pitcher of delicious and easy cocktails to enjoy with friends and family. These easily transport so you can go from backyard bbq to pool or beach side fun. 

Vodka Lemonade

Pitcher serves 4 to 5

1 cup vodka

3 cups store bought lemonade

1 lemon sliced thin

1 grapefruit sliced thin

Mint garnish (optional) 

Combine vodka and lemonade in pitcher and add sliced fruit and mint. Serve over ice. 

Rose Spritz

Serves 1 

1.5 oz Lillet Rose (This is a delicious aperitif that has similar flavor as our fave summer rosé but with the kick of a cocktail) 

4 oz club soda 

Lime wedge and any berry you may have on hand (strawberry is a favorite) to garnish

In mixing glass with ice pour over the Lillet Rose and top up with the club soda. Stir to combine and add garnish. 

Note: You can also mix this up and use champagne or prosecco in place of club soda. Simply nix the ice and add the Lillet rose to coupe and top with chilled champagne or prosecco and add fruit garnish

Watermelon Margarita 

Pitcher serves 4 to 5

1 cup tequila

3 cups pureed watermelon (blend cut, deseeded chunks of watermelon in blender)

Juice of 4 limes (about 1/2 cup) 

2 oz orange liqueur 

2 fresh jalapeños, deseeded and sliced into rounds 

Sea salt (We like pink!) for glass rims

Optional lime wedges to garnish 

In pitcher combine tequila, pureed watermelon, lime juice and orange liqueur. Muddle the jalapeños to release the spice and add to the pitcher- stir to combine. Salt the rim of your glasses then add ice and pour the margarita over. Add lime wedge as garnish.
