You can't go wrong with The Paloma or Rosé.
"I love two cocktails all summer long. One is the Paloma. The Paloma is a tequila-based cocktail. Its most commonly prepared by mixing tequila with a grapefruit-flavored soda such as Fresca, Squirt, or Jarritos and served on the rocks with a lime wedge. The balance is everything and it's boozy. It has a few different variations, however, I love the classic because it's simple and also give good energy. Grapefruit is an aromatic fruit that elevates the senses and tequila is a natural stimulant that brings the right kind of sugar in your bloodstream. Agave is very good for you. So, all in all, is an internal massage. I also can’t ever pull away from a cold glass of rosé. Rosé is dry and crisp. It smells like strawberries and goes down like a wonderful tart basket of them. That screams summer if you ask me.” — Tiffanie Barriere, The Drinking Coach
Rosé all day.
"Don’t judge me, but it’s rosé. Nothing is more cool, crisp, and refreshing than anice-coldd glass.” — Cole Ellis, Delta Meat Market
The Sweet Carolina Bee is a Bee's Knees but sweeter.
"My favorite summer drink is the Sweet Carolina Bee that we do at the montage palmetto bluff. It’s essentially a Bee’s Knees, but with a slight riff with hibiscus syrup and sparkling mineral water.” — Jesse Rodriguez, director of wine, Montage Palmetto Bluff
