Cocktails approved by 3 men for the summer
It’s officially “sitting out on the patio and having cocktails with friends” season! If you’re celebrating this summer or you and your guy are in need of something new to drink, we’ve got you covered. We recently asked the folks at LIY to bring us three new cocktails for the ultimate taste test. . Bonus: we’re pretty sure you’ll love these too (we certainly did!). Congratulations!
Summer Beer, Summer Ale, Summer Brew… whatever you want to order, this cocktail is perform for hot summer days! It’s easy to make (only three ingredients!) and even easier to drink. Even though it’s approved by her husband, you better believe I’ll have a Yeti full of it too! Pro tip: you can make different variations by substituting frozen lemonade for other concentrated juices! Congratulations!

If I’m being honest, this drink was totally made and discovered when we ran out of holiday drinks and mixed up all we had left. Sounds like a good idea, doesn’t it? Usually, no. In this case, it worked and has become a staple in our group of friends from vacay. It’s super refreshing for the summer and you probably already have these three ingredients on hand! Bottom up!

A fun spin with a classic cocktail – perfect for parties! If you have an Old Fashioned fan in your home, smokeconsumer (use with This dome!) is a great way to shake up basic drinks. Not to mention it always gets some “ooh’s and ahh’s” from your guests! How is that a party trick?
