Memorial Day marks the beginning and end of summer with a long weekend. It is a hot holiday so make sure to bring some cool drinks. It doesn't matter if your party is large or small, you can make Memorial Day memorable with some simple cocktails. These cocktails can be prepared with the freshest fruits and herbs. They can also be served on the rocks or chilled.
There are many other festive and fun cocktails to choose from, in addition to the gimlet. One of the most loved is the frozen blackberry cocktails. A savory greyhound is another variation of the classic greyhound. Cucumber-infused vodka can be used to make non-alcoholic versions.
A watermelon daniquiri is another festive drink that's fun and festive. It is simple to make and great for hot days. Watermelon daiquiris are made with lime juice and fresh mint. They can be served alongside a lime wedge. To add some boozy flavor, you can also add rum to the mix. You could also substitute the rum for vodka.
If you're looking for a more complex cocktail, you can try a peach-lemon margarita. This is a classic Southern summer drink that's also one of the most delicious. The tartness of the lemon is balanced with the sweetness of the apricot jam.
There are many ways you can decorate your Memorial Day drinks. If you want to go with the classics, consider the Pimm's cup or the Collins Park Sour. If you are looking for something that can be enjoyed on your backyard grill or at the poolside, there are some other options.
A great way to get your backyard grill going is with melonagua fresca. You can make it in your backyard. It can be served with a sage leaf to add sophistication.
A slushie keeps your grill cool. Traditionally, a slushie is a blue colored slush mixed with lime, but you can also make a red slushie with the red color of your favorite fruit. Frozen blackberries, lime water, and rum are all required to make a Memorial Day Slushie. You can garnish your slushie using strawberries and mint leaves, in addition to the usual ingredients.
An American flag Jell-O shot can be a fun and festive way of enjoying a tasty and refreshing drink. This is an ideal option for an outdoor Memorial Day Party. It is simple to make and it takes no time.
You can also add some flavor to your slushie by adding some kimchi to it. This will give it some kick and make your Memorial Day libations a lot more enjoyable.
