It's finally warm outside again. All I ever want to do this time of year is sit outside with my friends and yap for hours. And honestly, nothing accompanies that better than a fun cocktail. And with so many different fruits finally in season, what else could you even do with them other than make a drink? Okay yes, you could bake or cook or make a fruit salad, but let's save that for another day.
If you're in search of inspiration for cocktails to make for guests at your summer barbeque or to fuel your next gossip session, you're in luck! I've put together a list of 6 different cocktail recipes below and one mocktail recipe. Some of the drinks on the list would even be fun and festive for a Memorial Day, 4th of July, or Labor Day party!
If you decide to make any of these cocktails (or even put your own spin on them) take photos and tag us on social media! We'd love to see what you end up making and who you're sharing them with!
Have a great summer, and most importantly, *please drink responsibly*.

Blackberry Bourbon Bramble
If you prefer a darker spirit in your cocktails, this is the drink for you. Plus, it kind of looks red, white, and blue! So it'd be perfect for your Memorial Day, 4th of July, or Labor Day parties!
Malibu Sunset
It's simple, it's summery, what's not to like? You could even swap out the Malibu for coconut tequila if you prefer a spirit that's got a little more punch. Yummy!
Ocean Water
Now, the girl in the video doesn't give this one a name. Some people in the comments were calling it a Blue Lagoon, others said it was called a Blue Hawaiian, and others called it Lake Water. So I've decided to call it Ocean Water, since we're here right next to the beach! :) Enjoy!
The Lone Ranger
Essentially, a lemon tequila spritz. If I personally were going to make this, I'd probably also add a bit of club soda. I love bubbles! This looks like summer in a glass.
Patriotic Martinis
Another great one for Memorial Day and 4th of July BBQs! Plus, I love her energy, so I had to include it!
Watermelon Margarita
Is there anything more summer than watermelon? And I love the idea of a Tajin rim, a little something different!
Cucumber Limeade Mocktail
I wanted to add a non-alcoholic choice, and this one looks delicious! If you're really hankering to turn this one into a cocktail, add your favorite spirit and go to town!
