JLife rummages through the drinks cabinet to create a selection of summertime cocktail tipples to add the finishing touch to any garden party in the sun.

Summer Sangria

This summer sangria with watermelon and pineapple is made with a white Moscato rather than the traditional red wine. A take on a classic Spanish sangria, it can be made up to two hours before serving but can be served immediately.

Preparation: 10 minutes Serves: 4 – 6

INGREDIENTS

1 bottle Moscato wine
½ cup of brandy
1 lime, thinly sliced
2 cups of watermelon, cubed and cold
2 cups of pineapple, cubed and cold
Lemon lime soda, for serving
Ice cubes

METHOD

1. Pour the wine and brandy into a pitcher and stir to combine.
2. Add the sliced lime, watermelon, and pineapple.
3. To serve, place some of the fruit in a glass with ice. Pour the sangria over the ice and top with lemon lime soda.

This drink skips sugary triple sec, instead gaining its flavour from fresh lime juice, agave syrup, orange zest, and mint—making it only 80 calories per cocktail.

Preparation: 15 minutes Serves: 6

INGREDIENTS

Juice of 15 limes
1 measure of añejo tequila
⅓ measure of dark agave syrup
¼ tsp of dark agave syrup
6 strips orange zest
12 fresh mint leaves
½ tsp of sea salt
ice cubes

METHOD

1. In a large pitcher, combine lime juice, tequila, and agave syrup.
2. Rub each glass rim with one orange zest strip, then place zest in glass.
3. Put ¼ teaspoon agave in a small bowl, and combine mint and salt on a small plate. Dip your finger in syrup and rub along glass rims.
4. Dip glasses in mint-salt mixture to coat rims. Put 4 ice cubes in each glass.
5. Place five ice cubes in a cocktail shaker. Pour half the lime tequila mixture into shaker and shake vigorously.
6. Pour into 3 glasses. Repeat with remaining ice cubes and lime tequila mixture.
