It’s that time of year! Let’s break out our favorite bright, fresh, and fruity cocktails! Here’s a list of 5 simple and delicious cocktails you can enjoy sipping in the spring sunshine.
Fruity Cocktails You’ll Love This Spring
The flowers are blooming, the birds are chirping, and it’s finally light after 6 pm. Time to get your cocktail shaker ready, because I can’t think of anything better than drinking a cocktail as I’m soaking up the springtime vibes!
Here are 5 of my favorite spring cocktail recipes to kick off the season.
Big Batch Passion Fruit Martini
This Big Batch Passion Fruit Martini is the perfect cocktail to serve at your next get-together! Passion fruit puree, fresh lime juice, and vodka all come together to create a dreamy drink that everyone will love. Just batch it and keep it in your fridge until you’re ready to serve – this recipe will make your life ten times easier!
Bonus Recipes: Make your own homemade passionfruit puree and then use that to kick the party off with passionfruit tequila jello shots!
Cherry Vodka Sour
Enjoy a Cherry Vodka Sour bursting with a blend of fruity cherry flavor and mouth-puckering lemon! Just shake vodka, grenadine, Maraschino cherry liquid, and lemon juice – along with an egg white for frothy creaminess. This perfect springtime drink is as easy and delicious as they come!
Blood Orange Martini
A Blood Orange Martini is the perfect way to enjoy fresh fruity flavor! Sweet, tart, and bursting with citrus, this recipe covers all our bases for the perfect martini. Lemon drop, who? The orange drop martini just hit the scene!
Big Batch Pomegranate Margarita
Next time you’re having people over, mix up a big batch of these Pomegranate Margaritas! Pomegranate juice gives this margarita a fruity twist without straying too far from the OG cocktail we all know and love. This recipe makes a serving big enough for a crowd, and you’ll all be going back for more!
Blackberry Gin Spritz
A Blackberry Gin Spritz is a gorgeous, refreshing, and juicy cocktail! This recipe is made with fresh blackberries, lemon juice, a dash of honey, ginger liqueur, and of course, gin! Top your spritz with prosecco for a bubbly delight, and garnish your drink with more berries to snack on as you sip.
What To Eat With Your Drinks
Since each drink has a different kind of flavor profile, I won’t give you exact pairings. However, I have plenty of options for you to build a custom menu of your own!
Start with appetizers so you can offer your guests some snacky bits to enjoy alongside their cocktails. This is especially helpful if someone shows up hungry; you don’t want them drinking on an empty stomach!
Then you can start to explore what you want to serve as a main dish. I love to focus on light meals like fish. If you’re not feeling a whole sit down dinner vibe, no worries! This is the perfect time of year to serve a bunch of apps and snacks instead so that your party has more of a lighthearted social vibe.
