    Cool off this summer with some delicious cocktails! Wind down and relax with any of these easy-to-make drinks. They don’t require a ton of effort and should be available near you. A ton of these can also be made and enjoyed without alcohol for those who are staying sober or don’t like alcohol. These are only some of the easiest cocktails but the possibilities are endless. You can experiment with different flavours to your liking. 

    Mojito 

    • Juice of 1 lime 
    • 1 tsp granulated sugar 
    • Small handful of mint leaves, plus an extra sprig to serve 
    • 60 ml white rum soda water, to taste

    Step 1: Muddle the lime juice, sugar and mint leaves in a small jug, crushing the mint as you go – you can use the end of a rolling pin for this. Pour into a tall glass and add a handful of ice. 

    Step 2: Pour over the rum, stirring with a long-handled spoon. Top up with soda water, garnish with mint and serve.


    Pinã Colada

    • 120 ml pineapple juice 
    • 60 ml white rum 
    • 60 ml coconut cream 
    • A wedge of pineapple, to garnish (optional)

    Step 1: Pulse all the ingredients along with a handful of ice in a blender until smooth. Pour into a tall glass and garnish as you like.


    Aperol Spritz 

    • Ice 
    • 100 ml Aperol 
    • 150 ml prosecco 
    • Soda, to top up

    Step 1: Put a couple of cubes of ice into 2 glasses and add a 50 ml measure of Aperol to each. Divide the prosecco between the glasses and then top up with soda, if you like.


    Cranberry Vodka 

    • 250 g fresh or frozen cranberries or other berries 
    • 1L bottle vodka 
    • 175 g caster sugar

    Step 1: Prick each cranberry a couple of times with a fork and layer up in a large sterilised Kilner jar with the sugar. Pour over the vodka and leave for 2 weeks, shaking the jar each day.

    Step 2: Strain and decant into decorative bottles. Then, seal and label.


    Tequila Sunrise 

    • 2 tsp grenadine 
    • Ice 
    • 50 ml tequila 
    • 1 tbsp triple sec 
    • 1 large orange, or 2 small ones, juiced 
    • ½ lemon, juiced 
    • 1 cocktail cherry

    Step 1: Pour the grenadine into the base of a tall glass and set aside. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice and add the tequila, triple sec and fruit juices. Shake until the outside of the shaker feels cold.

    Step 2: Add a few ice cubes to the serving glass then carefully double strain the cocktail into it, trying not to disturb the grenadine layer too much. Add more ice, if needed, to fill the glass then garnish with a cherry on a stick or cocktail umbrella.


    Passion Fruit Martini 

    • 2 ripe passion fruits (they should have a crinkly appearance), halved 
    • 60 ml vodka 30ml passion fruit liqueur
    • 1 tbsp lime juice

    Step 1: Scoop the seeds from one of the passion fruits into the glass of a cocktail shaker, and add the vodka, passion fruit liqueur, lime juice and sugar syrup. Add a handful of ice and shake well, strain into 2 martini glasses, top up with prosecco, then add half a passion fruit to each. Serve immediately.

    Step 1: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice then add the vodka, peach schnapps, cranberry juice and a few drops of lime juice. Shake really well then strain into a tumbler with extra ice. Garnish with a wedge of lime.


    Cosmopolitan

    • 120 ml vodka 
    • 60 ml orange liqueur 
    • 60 ml cranberry juice 
    • Juice of 1 lime
