One of the most fun parts of summer can be visiting your favorite bar or restaurant with friends to cool down after a long day of work. That’s why it’s called happy hour. Whatever your reason for wanting to unwind, a few refreshing cocktails in a vibrant atmosphere is a perfect luxury. Not all drinks are ideal for summertime, so here are a few that will add light refreshment to any summer day.

3 Happy Hour Cocktails to Try This Summer

1. Margarita

Happy Hour

The margarita is the ultimate summertime cocktail. It can even be served frozen, which makes it doubly refreshing. This tequila-based drink is usually mixed with orange liqueur and lime juice, but there are several variations of the drink around the globe. It’s always full of crisp and fresh flavors that take summertime happy hour to the next level.

2. Spiked Lemonade

Lemonade is a quintessential summer drink. Add some alcohol, and it becomes a quintessential summer cocktail. Lemonade mixes best with fruit-forward, light spirits, and flavors ranging from raspberry to cucumber can be added to lemonade. It’s like blending happy hour and summertime in a glass.

3. Moscow Mule

If you’re looking for something a little stronger, give this vodka-based drink a try. It’s a staple at summertime cocktail parties and is a popular drink at events like the Kentucky Derby. This drink is usually served in a copper mug that is stuffed with ice and garnished with fresh spices such as mint. The fresh lime and ginger beer give off a citrus-filled, spicy zing with every sip.
