Whether you’re thirsting for an any-time-of-day sip like homemade lemonade or looking for a mixed drink to serve at your backyard barbecue, nothing is quite as refreshing as a cold drink on a sunny day. So, it’s no wonder that when we try to pick our favorite summer drinks that we can’t come up with anything less than 100 recipes! Fun mocktails, pitchers of sangria, and classic cocktails—the list goes on and on. And, while we’re confident that there’s a drink for everyone in this roundup, we’re even more certain that summer isn’t complete (for anyone!) until they’ve had at least one of these fruity slushies. Fresh basil is the secret ingredient: Steep it in a simple syrup (equal parts sugar and water), then remove it before blending the slushie for a subtle herbaceous note that screams ‘summer’.

There's a little extra love in this Caribbean rum punch, and it's not the freshly squeezed orange and lime juice or the fun ice-and-fruit float — it's taking the time to make your own spiced rum. It's super simple, and you can totally steal the rum recipe to make and give to friends and family (or a pirate).

Can frose (slushy, frozen rose wine) get any easier? With the help of a blender and ice cream maker, it certainly can.
