Sip in style: poolside drinks to enjoy this summer

It’s easy to make, too, with a simple blend of Aperol, Prosecco, and soda water. The perfect balance of sweet and bitter, this Italian classic is summer personified. 

Sauvignon Blanc

For those who prefer wine, a chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc is a great choice. 

Its crisp, citrusy notes and bright acidity are wonderfully refreshing on a hot day. It pairs perfectly with light poolside snacks like a fruit platter or charcuterie board.

Mojito

Mojito, with its combination of fresh mint, lime, sugar, and rum, is a classic summer cocktail. Sipping a mojito poolside will transport you to a tropical paradise.

The Mojito is a timeless favourite, offering a cool and minty escape from the heat.

Watermelon Margarita

Embrace the tropical vibes with a Watermelon Margarita. It’s a delightful blend of watermelon, tequila, triple sec, and lime juice.

This sweet and tangy concoction will keep you refreshed all day long. The Watermelon Margarita is a burst of summer sweetness with a hint of tequila’s warmth.

Piña Colada

Transport yourself to the tropical Caribbean with a Piña Colada. This creamy blend of coconut cream, pineapple juice, and white rum is the ultimate poolside indulgence.

Its luscious, coconut sweetness combined with the tangy pineapple creates a perfect balance of flavours.

Close your eyes, take a sip, and let the Piña Colada whisk you away to a beachfront getaway without leaving your poolside oasis.

Strawberry Daiquiri

Cool down with a Strawberry Daiquiri.

Blended with fresh strawberries, white rum, lime juice, and simple syrup, it’s a gorgeous slushy treat.

The vibrant pink hue and the sweet-tart explosion of strawberry and lime make this daiquiri a poolside favourite. With a straw in hand and a pool view, you’ve got the perfect recipe for a refreshing summer day.

Classic Margarita

A Classic Margarita is always a good idea.

With its mix of tequila, triple sec, and freshly squeezed lime juice, it’s both tangy and slightly salty. Rim the glass with salt for that zany contrast of flavours, add some ice cubes, and you’re ready to enjoy this timeless cocktail by the pool.

Sangria

Sangria is a Spanish favourite for summer gatherings. It’s a fruity punch made with red wine, brandy, orange liqueur, and an assortment of fresh fruits. 

Sipping on Sangria poolside brings a taste of Spain to your holiday. The rich red wine blends harmoniously with the sweet citrus and the natural sweetness of fruits, making each sip a burst of flavours. Whether you prefer red or white Sangria, it’s a vibrant choice to enjoy under the sun.

 

Gin and Tonic

For a crisp and refreshing choice, go for a classic G&T.

The botanical notes of gin mixed with tonic water and a slice of lemon or lime create a simple yet sophisticated poolside drink. The effervescent tonic water complements the herbal notes of gin, resulting in a light and invigorating drink.

Garnish with a citrus twist, and you have a timeless and effortlessly elegant option for your poolside relaxation.

Cosmopolitan

Embrace cosmopolitan elegance with this iconic cocktail.

Made with vodka, triple sec, cranberry juice, and a splash of lime juice, it’s a sweet and playful choice for your poolside enjoyment.
