Now that the weather has picked up a bit and we are FINALLY getting some sun, I thought I would put together a list of my favourite spring/summer drinks. All of these are so quick and easy to make and are perfect for any occasion, whether you're having people round or you just fancy sitting in the garden yourself!
1. Peach Lemonade. A unique twist on the iconic lemonade which is perfect for kids too! Stick 4 cups of water, 2 cups of chopped peaches and 3/4 cups of sugar in a pan and boil, then blend into a puree. Press through a seive and add 1 cup of lemon juice. Serve with lots of ice, mint and a wedge of peach! (via What2Cook)
2. Strawberry-Kiwi Frozen Mojitos. OMG please just look at these. THEY LOOK SO DELICIOUS! Get yourself to the supermarket and pick up some strawberries and kiwis, and stick them in the freezer RIGHT NOW. Blend together 1 cup of strawberries, 4 mint leaves, a shot of rum and a cup of crushed ice until its like slush, and fill your cup halfway. Then do the exact same with the kiwis, and pour this ontop of the strawberries. Decorate with more kiwi, strawberry and mint and ENJOY! (Via Host the Toast)
3. Strawberry Vodka. I know so many people who would love this! Take 750ml of Vodka. It's best to use reaaallly good quality vodka, and combine with 2 heaped tablespoons of caster sugar. cut up the starwberries and add them to this mixture. Then, just leave it in a cool place for like 3 days, whilst giving it a swirl everyday. The strain the mizture out and decant into air tight containers (jam jars look cool!) And you're done! Deeeelicious! (Via Delicious Everyday)
4. Rum Punch. I love how this drink looks! Pour 3 oz pineapple juice, 2 oz orange juice 1 oz dark rum and 1 oz cocnut rum into a glass and gently stir. Then slowly add a splash of grenadine. This should sink to the bottom. And then add a little bit more dark rum on top. This will give that cool ombre effect! garnish with a slice of lime! (Via Inspired by Charm)
