With the summer also comes the time to sit outside and enjoy the warm weather. And what is better than to be sitting holding your favorite drink in one hand and sip it and be happy. The list of cocktails and drinks is long. If you are on the beach you might want to have a margarita or a piña colada, or a mojito, even a caipirinha. If you are more of the city type, an Aperol spritz, a gin tonic or a glass of cooled white wine may do the trick. Or a beer, sangria or a mocktail, all help to navigate the heat.

A table with savory finger food, maybe tapas, and in your hand the drink of your choice. This drink was either mixed by you or by a bartender. Each one is a unique mixture and the quality of the resulting drink varies upon the spirits you use, the other ingredients such as fruits, juices, etc. Each sip is filled with flavors. Then again, of course it is a sensation to see a professional mixer working.

It is a recurring theme, but also with drinks it is mostly about getting together, chatting, enjoying the view, and putting your tasting buds to work. Which drink is your favorite?
