Life 6 years ago 5 Summer Cocktails To Make In A Pinch
Summer is without a doubt one of my favorite times to entertain.
The doors and windows are open, the summer tunes are flowing, there are friends and family on the patio, Grant is at the grill (with Polly by his side, of course) and everyone has a drink in hand. While I always love to plan a few, fun summer parties, some of the best times I’ve had are impromptu get togethers when my friends or my brothers stop by. I like to have a stocked bar cart and some charcuterie fixings on hand, but let’s be serious, that’s not always the case.
Today I’m rounding up some of my favorite summer cocktails to make when you are in a pinch. Whether you’re entertaining last minute guests or are just looking for an easy cocktail to serve at your party, these recipes are sure to be crowd pleasers this summer. Cheers!
