When spring comes and the weather turns warmer, we all start craving lighter, more colorful, more refreshing cocktails – the hot and heavy cocktails that suit wintertime are gradually replaced by fresher drinks that have less alcohol and more fruity flavors. Here are our top picks to try:
- Lemon, pineapple and mint in a refreshing Mimosa – combine lemon or lime juice, white wine (the fruitier, the better), a few cubes of fresh pineapple and a splash of citrusy soda for a bubbly, fresh-tasting beverage.
- Bitter orange with a twist – get a few drops of your favorite bitter aperitif, add some orange juice and grapefruit juice, a splash of pomegranate juice or syrup and finish it with some club soda.
- Whiskey sour with a twist – prepare a classic Whiskey Sour with your favorite rye, some lemon juice and simple syrup prepared mixing one part sugar and one part water and add a few slices of kumquat or other exotic fruits to make the cocktail even fresher.
- Strawberry sangria – white or rosé wine, a splash of rum, granulated sugar, a few slices of lime, a few strawberries, also sliced and some carbonated water is all it takes to prepare this refreshing cocktail. This can be enjoyed along with fun at one of the Denver paint and sip studios too, just bring your own lemons and strawberries.
