30 Refreshing Spring Inspired Cocktails You Need to Try

Warm weather is here and it’s time to ring it in with some of the blogosphere’s best refreshing spring cocktails!

Here in Georgia, it’s already starting to get pretty warm (sorry to my northern friends). My house doesn’t heat very well since it’s built to withstand higher temperatures, so it gets chilly inside even when it’s warm outside. I don’t mind winter, but I hate a cold house. So now that it’s in the 60’s and 70’s, my windows are open all the time. It’s wonderful! My cats are pretty thrilled, too. 😛

Warm weather also means I’m doing a good bit of yard work…which it turns out, I’m awful at. My flowers have already died and it’s only been 2 weeks. Regardless, there’s nothing like digging in the dirt and working up a sweat to make you look forward to a nice, cool drink.

So to help get us all a little inspired by the nice outdoor weather, I’ve collected a bunch of spring cocktails for us all to enjoy this year!

30 Refreshing Spring Cocktails You Need to Try

1. Lemon Mint Pineapple Mimosas

This is such a refreshing drink! Lemon and mint are decent enough, but the pineapple really pushed it over the edge. Women’s Day was a fan, as well. 🙂

2. Raspberry Limoncello

Love a good limoncello! And this is so simple!

3. Mimosa Cocktail

Honestly, who doesn’t love a good mimosa?

4. Hurricane Cocktail

It’s been YEARS since I had a hurricane! Never made one myself, though. Have to try this!

5. Strawberry Kiwi Sangria

I remember when I was a kid and “strawberry kiwi” was really trendy. I don’t see it around much these days (now it’s all about lemons and lavender). Still just as tasty as ever, though!

6. Campari and Ruby Grapefruit

I’m not usually the biggest fan of grapefruit, but this sounded really good!

7. Lazy Margarita Tequila Shots

I don’t care what they say–you’re never too old for shots. They’re just too easy. 😛 These are my dad and sister’s favorite, and for good reason!

8. Double Watermelon Vodka Lemonade Cocktail

Look at those colors! Anything that bright has to be tasty. 😛 And watermelon lemonade? Um…YES!

9. Cherry Limeade Vodka Cocktail

Cherry limeade for adults! Gotta love an easy cocktail, too.

10. Kumquat Whiskey Sour

I’ve only ever had whiskey sours with lemon, so this sounds pretty interesting. Whiskey sours are my favorite, though, so I’m sure it’ll be a hit!

11. Peach Lemonade Vodka Martini

Mixing lemonade with other flavors is all the rage, apparently. So try it with peach! And the Deep Eddy vodka is the best I’ve ever had. You can’t beat the taste of real fruit. (Probably why Smirnoff is trying to copy them! :P)

12. Mai Tai Cocktail

Would you believe I’ve never had a mai tai? Don’t know how that happened, but it’s true! Have to give one a try with this recipe.

13. Sweet Orange Sangria

Turns out you can still have a pretty great sangria with just oranges. This is AWESOME! Always sad to see an empty pitcher.

14. Melon Ball Punch Recipe

Honestly, I added this because it looks pretty. But then I read it and now I really want to try it! Tell me this wouldn’t impress some party guests.

15. Strawberry Lemonade Bourbon Cocktail

Always on the hunt for what I can mix bourbon with next. Strawberry lemonade was a HUGE winner!

16. Cheater Margarita Smoothies

I’m usually too lazy to turn my margaritas into smoothies, but this looks awesome! Also…it’s blueberry limeade. Intriguing.

17. Peach Cobbler Martini

Love peaches, love peach cobbler. Enough said.

18. Strawberry Pretzel Whiptini

Pretzel!? I’ve been dying to try the Whipped vodkas and haven’t had a chance. Looks like this is my excuse! But seriously…PRETZEL!? I’m so excited for this.

19. Ruby Slipper Cocktail

Looks like a Christmas cocktail? Sure. But who doesn’t need a pop of red in the spring?

20. Nuts and Berries Cocktail

OK, to be fair…this is an all-season cocktail. Definitely one of Zach’s favorites, though. He’s been making this since college and has zero regrets.

21. Honey Citrus Cocktail

I have never considered adding honey to a cocktail before. Honey bourbon, sure, but never honey. This sounds so light and refreshing. Must try!

22. Whiskey Sour Party Punch

For those of you who don’t plan on ringing in this nice spring weather alone, give this whiskey sour party punch a shot! Punch is a cheap and simple way to make sure your whole group is covered.

23. Blueberry Breeze Cooler

I have never had blueberry vodka. Definitely something that I need to try!

24. Easy Margarita Recipe

Standard, but you seriously can’t go wrong with margaritas. I’d go for a strawberry one right about now.

25. Morning Paradise

Did Mom on the Side just give me an excuse to drink in the morning? I THINK SHE DID! 😀 Seriously, though, this is a pretty cool idea for those Dasani drops. I would have never considered adding them to a mixed drink.

26. Blue Caterpillar Cocktail

Inspired by Alice and Wonderland, this cocktail uses rum and pineapple juice. Which is a recipe for success every time. 😛

27. Ginger Mint Carrot Cooler

I honestly haven’t tried this, but it sounds super weird. Which is pretty much why it’s on the list–someone try this and tell me how it is! I actually really want to. I’m not big on ginger, but it might be pretty good with the carrot.
