Serve These 5 Lemonade Cocktails To Sip Along With Summer Snacks
Summer's in full swing, and there's nothing quite like finding the perfect drink to complement those lazy days filled with good food and company. Lemonade cocktails, with their zesty notes, can be the summer fling your palate is looking for—exciting, memorable, and perfectly suited for the season's fare. Let’s squeeze the day with these lemonade cocktails, each crafted to elevate your summer dining.
Godawan-Lemonade
Imagine the warmth of summer in a glass. Combine 60 ml Godawan with 90 ml of homemade lemonade infused with saffron and cardamom in a glass. Add in some ice and garnish with a cherry for the looks. Pair this with grilled chicken or spicy paneer kebabs for a delectable culinary experience.
The Reposado Refresher
For another grown-up version of everyone’s favourite summer drink, try the Reposado Refresher. Combine 60 ml Don Julio Reposado with 60 ml of homemade lemonade and a splash of grapefruit juice. A pinch of black salt will lead to a cocktail that gets the sweet, salty, and sour profiles just right. Along with this citrusy margarita-inspired cocktail, consider serving grilled steak tacos or the classic guac and chips for a combination that rarely disappoints.
The Citrus Orchard Fizz
For those who like their cocktails extra tangy, and the lemonade may not just do, the Citrus Orchard Fizz is your go-to. Take 60 ml Smirnoff Orange and blend it with freshly squeezed lemonade. Here’s where things get interesting: introduce a dash of elderflower cordial to the mix and top with a splash of soda. Serve this alongside light summer salads or fresh seafood to cater to that next summer lunch by the pool.
The Singleton Summer Offering
A trusted companion for cold nights, whisky can help you brave hot summer afternoons when combined with fresh lemonade. Stir 60 ml Singleton 18 with lemonade and a hint of mint-infused simple syrup. The whisky lends a mature base to the sharp lemonade, which leads to a seriously refreshing cocktail that can disrupt your summer menu. Great for hosting, serve this alongside a cheese platter or a rich chocolate dessert to milk those smokey and tangy notes.
The Non-Alcoholic Lemon Drink
And for those preferring their summer delights sans alcohol, the Lemon Orchard offers a burst of flavour that leaves no one behind. Mix homemade lemonade with a touch of ginger syrup and a dash of tonic water. Add slices of orange, lemon, and a few cucumber rounds to get a drink that’s perfect for toasting the summer sun, regardless of your drink preference.
