Summer cocktails
Summer cocktails are the drinks people reach for when they want something bright, cooling, and easy to enjoy in warm weather, whether that means a minty Mojito, a long Singapore Sling, or something far stronger like a Long Island Iced Tea. This set spans everything from light, citrus-led refreshers to punchier builds with more spirit weight, so you can compare by base spirit, strength, format, technique, and flavour direction.
With 1,326 recipes in the mix, the list covers relaxed garden sips, terrace drinks, and more polished serve-at-the-table cocktails.
