Cocktails and Coolers for the Summer

There’s something about the Summer months which makes us long for long, tall, exotic cocktails. Maybe we’ve seen too many movies or succumbed to too many advertising campaigns. After all, a nice, cool beer would do the trick on any other hot day. But cocktails do more than just quench our thirst. Whether we’re lying by the pool or sitting in the outside area of one of our favourite bars, we sometimes get the feeling that something is missing and a cocktail is the only thing that can fill that gap. There are some cocktails which fill our need more than others during the Summer, however, and here are a few which more often than not, hit the spot.

The Old Fashioned. There can be different ingredients used for this drink but ordinarily, it is made up of syrup, Angostura and whiskey, with an orange twist. It is citrusy and sweet without being overwhelming. Bartenders will sometimes pour it over a large glacier which can fill the glass. This works in the Summer mainly as it lasts longer than ice cubes so remains chilled for longer.

The Ginlet. A cocktail guaranteed to quench your thirst, it is made up of gin and Rose’s lime juice. Many puritans object to gin being used instead of vodka, as it often is, but in reality, they both are equally strong and can leave you feeling just as refreshed.

Sangria. A great combination of a relaxed wine and something with a little more twist for those having trouble on deciding upon which drink to choose. It is actually considered to be a traditional Spanish wine punch but numerous bartenders put their own spin on it.

The Southside. Take the ingredients of a mojito but use rum instead of gin and you have a Southside. Most city centre bars will serve this drink or you could even make this citrusy drink at home if you ave spare mint in your garden. The perfect cocktail to while away the hours by the pool.
