Summer has an uncanny ability to have us longing for a cocktail. It is not as if it is the only drink that has the ability to quench our thirst, a cool beer can do just that. But there is something about the combination of fruit, vodka and blended ice which gives us that holiday feeling and lets us know that Summer is finally here. It doesn’t matter whether we’re at a party, sitting outside a bar on a Saturday afternoon or lying by the pool on holiday, a cocktail seems to be almost always an appropriate Summer beverage. Of course, some cocktails are more preferable than others to help cool us down whilst tasting wonderful.

The Old Fashioned. The ingredients are dependent upon where you are drinking it and who is serving as they vary somewhat. Typically, however, you can expect a combination of whiskey, Angostura and syrup with an orange twist. Sometimes, rather than ice cubes, it is poured over an ice glacier large enough to fill the glass. This is preferable to those who take their time to savour their cocktail as it stays chilled for longer.

The Ginlet. Few cocktails are as refreshing as this one, made with Rose’s lime juice and gin. Gin, in fact, is being used instead of vodka more and more which many purists are less than satisfied with. However, in reality, they are as strong as each other and both certainly have the ability to quench your thirst at a time and leave you feeling refreshed.

Sangria. A fabulous mix of wine and something with a little more kick. Although, fundamentally, it is nothing more than a traditional Spanish punch, it can taste different depending upon where you drink it as bartenders often like to be creative with this drink.

The Southside. Take the ingredients of a mojito but use rum instead of gin and you have a Southside. Most city centre bars will serve this drink or you could even make this citrusy drink at home if you ave spare mint in your garden. The perfect cocktail to while away the hours by the pool.
