When summer heats up there’s nothing better than an ice cold cocktail to cool you down! I love mixing up something special for the weekend or for pool time with my girlfriends and today I have a deliciously seasonal adult beverage for you that’s just perfect for summertime! Keep scrolling for one of my new favorites, a Refreshing Triple Berry Cocktail!
I absolutely love the idea of a berry cocktail for summer because you can find the biggest, freshest mix of berries everywhere you look! Whether you grab some from your local grocery store, are growing some in your own garden, or take the kids berry picking at a nearby farm, fresh blueberries, blackberries and strawberries are easy to find this time of year. So grab a handful of your favorites and let’s get ready to make you a drink!
You’re going to love how easy and quick this recipe is to get in your cup! The full details are below, but here’s a quick look at the ingredients and tools you’ll need on hand:
- Fresh blueberries, blackberries and strawberries
- Tequila
- Rum
- Raspberry lemonade
- Lime juice
- Fresh mint
- Ice
- Blender
- Cocktail shaker
- Cute cocktail glasses
You’ll notice I used the same cute cocktail glass as I did in our 4th of July Ice Cream Cocktail, but I also think this drink would look fabulous served in a hurricane cocktail glass too!
You’ll begin by placing your summer berries in your blender and pureeing them. Set this aside until the very end. Next, fill your cocktail glasses with ice and then grab your cocktail shaker. Pour in a little ice along with all of your liquid ingredients and shake well. Next, pour this over the ice in your glass and add about a tablespoon (more if you like) of your berry puree to your drink and stir to combine it well. Finish your drink off by garnishing it with some fresh mint and fresh berries if you like. Now take a sip and relax!
Yum – so refreshing and perfect for a hot summer day! Make a big batch – or just one for yourself – and enjoy! Be sure to Pin this post for later and grab our Party Planning Checklist to plan your next celebration with ease!
