It is a staple during hot summers in Mexico and the American Southwest. It’s easy to make, delicious and super refreshing. Try this original and basic Michelada recipe for your weekend vacation observing Memorial Day.

Blueberry Lemonade Margarita

Strawberry Daiquiri

To get the best flavor from your drink, use fresh and frozen strawberries. The frozen strawberry would add body to the drink instead of just making it watery like normal ice would, and the fresh strawberry would add juiciness and syrupiness by keeping the drink from getting too thick.

watermelon mojito

Watermelon as a fruit itself is very refreshing on hot summer days. Making a mojito from the refreshing fruit is indeed a delight. It is one of the best non-alcoholic drinks to enjoy during the summer weekend.

Coconut lemonade

Coconut lemonade is one of the most popular drinks in Colombia. It’s delicious, simple and quick to make. Although very few people like to have coconut mocktails, you must surely try this one because of its unique taste.

Memorial Day is all about getting ready for the long weekend with your family and friends. Explore your inner bartender by trying out the amazing mocktail recipes mentioned for the day.
