Refreshing non alcoholic summer drinks
Cocktail Colin says:
If you want a refreshing non alcoholic summer drink, the simplest approach is to take a long, citrusy highball style and make it alcohol free by leaving out the spirits and liqueurs.
While our recommended list leans alcoholic, several options map perfectly to an alcohol free serve because they are built around lemonade, soda, iced tea and fruit.
Best fits for a summery, no alcohol refresh are:
- Summer Breezy: it is essentially a tall, bubbly citrus drink, so skipping the Cointreau still leaves you with a light soda based cooler.
- Spiked Summer Lemonade: the lemonade backbone does most of the work. Leave out the vodka and red vermouth and you are left with an easy, crowd pleasing lemonade highball.
- Absoult Summer: mint and lemonade are classic hot weather flavours. Omit the lemon vodka and keep the long lemonade serve with mint and citrus.
If you want something that feels more like a special treat on a hot afternoon, Summer gin granita has the right frozen, fruit forward vibe, and the same idea works well without the gin and vodka.
These are all ideal for picnics and beach days because they are tall, cold and thirst quenching.
