Hot. Sun. Long weekends. Beach Vacations. Fireworks. BBQs. The only thing better than an outdoor meal on a lazy summer day is the refreshing cocktail that comes with it. So here are ten fun ways to cool down with wine this August. Try these flavor combinations over ice or blended for a frozen treat. Fresh juices give the best flavor. Have fun with the garnishes and glassware. This is your chance to be creative and impress your guests with a new twist on a classic glass of wine.

Joe, what are the recipes??? All look yummy.
Hi Lynne,
There are no formal recipes for these drinks but generally, cocktails should be formulated to be 2 parts liquor, 1 part tart & 1 part sweet. As a typical Mimosa is usually 50/50 juice to sparkling, that might be a good ratio to start with for some of these drinks. The article is meant as an inspiration to make recipes. If you find or come up with one that you really like, feel free to post it in the comments section or on our FB/Twitter sites.
Happy mixing 🙂 Joe
