Before this summer comes to an end, you need to try these cocktails. They are light, refreshing and delicious. Trust me, when it comes to cocktails, I have no problem trying these recipes tirelessly. What can I say, I’m selfless like that.

Here are the ingredients to each drink. I never like the actual way most people say to make it. I know what I like and would rather play bartender and use different proportions so that I think it tastes good. So play with the ingredients and see which way you prefer them.
