60 Summer Cocktail Recipes

1. Lavender Pisco Sour

Create a unique twist on the classic Peruvian pisco sour cocktail using homemade lavender simple syrup, fresh lemon juice, and pisco from Peru. This cocktail takes only 5 minutes to shake up and has a beautiful egg white foam on top.

Lavender Simple Syrup:

• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons dried lavender flowers

Pisco Sour:

• 4 ounces pisco
• 2 ounces freshly squeezed lemon juice
• 1 ounce lavender simple syrup
• 2 large egg whites
• thin lemon slices, for garnish (optional)
• dried lavender flowers, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

For Lavender Simple Syrup:

Add sugar, dried lavender flowers, and 1 cup of water to a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat until all the sugar has dissolved, about 2 - 4 minutes.

Remove from the heat, and allow the mixture to cool for about 30 minutes until it has stopped steaming. Taste to see if the lavender flavor is strong enough for your personal liking. If the flavor is not strong enough, allow the lavender flowers to steep for an extra 30 - 60 minutes until the desired taste is achieved.

Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Pour the mixture into the strainer to separate the simple syrup from the lavender flowers. Transfer to a clean reusable bottle and seal tightly with a lid.

For Pisco Sour:

Add pisco, lemon juice, lavender simple syrup, and egg whites to a cocktail shaker. Dry shake (without ice) vigorously for 30 seconds.

Add in a handful of ice, and shake again until well-chilled.

Strain the cocktail with a hawthorne strainer into a chilled lowball glass. Gently garnish with a thin slice of lemon and dried lavender flower.

2. Blackberry Orange Refresher

Blackberry Simple Syrup:

• 8 ounces blackberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar

Orange Blackberry Cocktail:

• 12 fresh mint leaves plus more for garnish
• 6 ounces pulp free orange juice
• 4 ½  ounces Tito's vodka
• 3 ½ ounces blackberry simple syrup
• 8 ounces Fresca sparkling flavored soda
• orange slices, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

For Blackberry Simple Syrup:

Add blackberries, granulated sugar, and one cup of water to a medium-sized saucepan. Cook over medium-high until the mixture begins to boil.

Once boiling, cook for an additional 5 minutes, stirring often, to ensure the mixture doesn’t boil over. The simple syrup will turn dark purple and thicken.

Remove from the heat, and allow the mixture to cool for about 30 minutes until it has stopped steaming.

Place a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Pour the mixture into the strainer to separate the simple syrup from the seeds. Push on the blackberries in the strainer with a silicone spatula to extract more juice. Add the simple syrup to a squeeze bottle, and discard the seeds.

For Orange Blackberry Cocktail:

Add mint leaves to the bottom of a cocktail shaker and muddle with a cocktail muddle or the back of a wooden spoon until you begin to smell the mint.

Add orange juice, vodka, blackberry simple syrup, and a handful of ice to the cocktail shaker.

Since the cocktail shaker will be very full, mix and chill the cocktail by transferring from one cup of the cocktail shaker to the other.

Prepare 4 lowball glasses by placing 2-3 orange slices around the outside wall of the glass. Then fill partway with ice. Strain 4 ounces of the cocktail using a Hawthorne strainer into the prepared glasses. Top each glass with 2 ounces of Fresca sparkling soda water.

Optionally, garnish with additional mint and orange slices.
