Celebrate the season with fizzy, floral, and fruity flavors!
As the weather shifts from cold to hot, our drink lineup flip-flops accordingly! And by that, we mean we're trading in hot chocolate and steaming lattes for a chilled glass of lemonade or iced coffee. But let's not stop at the sweet tea! Why not embrace the season with some vibrant, refreshing spring cocktails? Raise your pinkies—and glasses—to floral martinis and fruity margaritas galore, and don't forget those sparkling beverages and slushy-like concoctions that were practically made for sipping at a sunny brunch! Here, you'll find lots of spirited drink suggestions ideal for any spring occasion—Easter brunch, Cinco de Mayo, Mother's Day, and more! 1 Gallon Sun Tea Jar
These easy cocktail recipes are ideal for a bright afternoon, especially when served with our festive spring appetizers! Pair them with your favorite spring dinner ideas, like pasta primavera and lemon pepper chicken. Looking for a drink that's fit for a crowd? Take a cue from Ree Drummond and serve one of her favorite sangria recipes; the big batch cocktail is perfect for spring entertaining and it would even pair well with grilling recipes. Pick out your favorite rosé wine to make the strawberry sangria or opt for the more classic red wine variation. Either one is sure to be a hit. If you prefer something a little stronger, you can try one of the vodka, tequila, or bourbon drinks on this list. While the butterfly martini will remind you of blooming gardens, the herb-infused Marg-a-Ree-ta will be a refreshing addition to your Cinco de Mayo menu. And if Easter cocktails are what you're after, take a look at the frozen lemonade that can be made with or without the alcohol. Either way, any of these seasonally appropriate cocktails will welcome the new season ahead.
