This post is part of Cocktail Culture’s Drinks of Summer series, in which we will feature light & refreshing warm-weather cocktails. Summer is the season for outdoor entertaining—I can hardly keep count of all the picnics, BBQ, and backyard shin-digs I’ve been invited to this year! If you’re playing host or hostess to a group this weekend (or any other this summer, for that matter) you’re probably wondering how to stock your bar. Sure, beer & wine are great but a cocktail would be fantastic.
