Best Spring Cocktail Drinks

Spring is just around the corner, which means the air is fresh and the sun is out. It’s now time to sit outside on your balcony or patio with a chilled glass in your hand. This is the season everyone loves to throw dinner parties with a nice, refreshing, crowd-friendly drink — perhaps a strawberry-basil margarita or a lemon-thyme vodka lemonade.

We’ve created a list of some of the best spring cocktails you can create when hosting or even sip on while sitting outside embracing the beautiful weather.

Sparkling Strawberry Cocktail

Fresh strawberry puree and a hint of orange juice blended with Prosecco creates a delightful brunch-time drink.

Strawberry Basil Margaritas

A sure-fire crowd pleaser, the drink is easy enough to make. You might as well as make an entire pitcher.

Watermelon-Cucumber Refresher

While watermelon isn’t quite in season during the spring, the watery, hothouse melons that are appearing in markets do the trick for this juicy, refreshing cocktail.

Sorrel-Lime Cooler

This sparkling cooler gets its allure from sorrel, an herb renowned for its fresh, lemony sourness. Enjoy it with a splash of gin.

Strawberry-Rhubarb Sangria

The strawberry-rhubarb duo is the next hit of sparkling sangria at your party.

White Nixon Cocktails

Ruby red grapefruit juice and a special tea blend that includes white tea and lavender make this vodka cocktail refreshing.

Honey-Vanilla Spritzer

Vanilla bean infuses honey syrup to create a delicious aroma. The sweetness is balanced out with lime juice and chilled with seltzer or a combination with crisp white wine.

Rum Punch

Four different juices and rum make a sweet but tart and refreshingly delicious punch. Add a bit of grenadine to give the drink its pink blush.
