Summer is right around the corner, and I can't wait to enjoy making these Easy Summer Cocktail Recipes to share with friends on our patio!

One of my favorite hobbies is find new cocktail recipes to replicate and serve at home to family and friends...I mean, who doesn't love a good cocktail, right? And...who really wants to spend so much money on them at restaurants? I've put together some of my favorite easy summer cocktails in one place to share with you, and hopefully inspire you to make at your home or even on vacation! These cocktails are made with super fresh ingredients and fresh mixers too. None of the store bought stuff here...and you can totally tell when you make and drink one. They are absolutely next level! Warning...they may ruin your ability to drink the store bought stuff...they are just THAT GOOD!
