Last summer I shared our favorite summertime drinks.

While these are still favorites around here and, I think *runs to pantry to check* – yep, we still have each of these stocked in our house, over the past year sometimes I just don’t want a strongly carbonated drink. Particularly in the evening, I don’t want anything too fizzy as it makes me bloated and uncomfortable to sleep. #tmi

Instead, I’ve been wanting things like the cocktails I’ll be sharing below. They are all fairly quick and simple to make when you have the supplies on hand.

Disclaimer: These do contain alcohol – often hard liquor –
so if you choose to partake it any type of alcoholic drink, please do so safely.
