7 cocktails for when the sun is shining

There’s a suitable alcoholic refreshment for every occasion. Now that the sun is showing its face: a cocktail, or two, or three. And if you get too drunk, you can simply put on your sunglasses. Here are seven cocktail recipes.

Whiskey sour
Classy and full of flavor. This bold cocktail looks good at any party.

Moscow mule
Lime juice, vodka, ginger beer and Angostura bitters. Barbecue on your rooftop terrace—let’s go.

Pisco sour
Fresh and sour. FavorFlav’s Sophie drank this nonstop in Peru. But it tastes great in the Dutch sun too.

Mojito

You’ll have this crowd-pleaser made in no time.

Beer cocktail
If you’re thinking, go away with your cocktails, I just want beer: the beer cocktail. The best of both worlds.

Pisco with raspberry and nectarine
A super-easy cocktail that also looks absolutely gorgeous.

Punch
You might wonder whether this is a cocktail. Many a cocktail shaker will probably turn up their nose at a bowl of alcohol with pieces of fruit in it. But we think punch is simply incredibly delicious. Especially in the park, on the grass, with friends around us.

Spritzer
Whether this drink is a real cocktail is also debatable. In any case, it’s a light, thirst-quenching drink.
