Your best summer cocktail recipe...

DH and I are having friends over this weekend for grilling for the guys and laying out for the ladies.  I would really like to have an amazing summery cocktail that is not too strong and accomodates picky tastes.  Any suggestions? TIA!!

Sangria:

2 cups OJ
1 bottle red wine
1 orange, sliced
2 peaches, peeled and sliced
1 lemon, sliced
confectioner's sugar
club soda

  1. Mix together the oj, red wine, orange, peaches, and lemon and refrigerate 4-6 hours.
  2. Add confectioners sugar to taste, until it's sweet enough.
  3. Add a splash of club soda and serve over ice.

Measurements are very approximate, just add what looks right to you - 

Grapefruit Lemonade

In a tall glass put:

2 ice cubes

5 glugs Absolut Ruby Red vodka

4 glugs Newman's Own less sugar Lemonade

2 glugs Sweet and Sour mix

2 glugs Cosmo Martini mix

3-4 glugs 7Up (optional)

 

swizzle and serve 

 

Also

Strawberry Lemonade

in a pitcher 

vodka to taste

4-5 muddled or fine chopped strawberries - great use for berries that are getting too soft to eat out of hand, but are still good.

lemon juice and some slices of lemon tossed in for color

splash of sour mix

fill with lemonade
