My favorite spring cocktails and mocktails include Aperol spritzes, kombucha fizzes, grapefruit margaritas and more — the ideal way to unwind as the weather turns warm and bright.
Spring has officially arrived!
The air feels different now — lighter and fresher. Even one sunny afternoon can pull you out of the winter slump and put you in the mood for something bright and refreshing.
Longer days and warmer temperatures are the perfect excuse to sip a chilled cocktail or a lively mocktail on the patio. Lately I find myself reaching for spritzes and fruit-filled smashes: drinks that are simple, citrusy, and effortlessly drinkable. Think bubbles, a hint of herb or floral notes, and fresh seasonal fruit.
Below are some of my top spring selections — a mix of cocktails and mocktails I return to again and again. Light, refreshing, and easy to make, they’re perfect for brunch, a backyard gathering, or a quiet evening watching the sunset. Which one will you try first?
