Summer means entertaining which also means we’re always in search of large-batch recipes we can whip up in no time. We have three requirements when it comes to pitcher cocktails. Obviously, they should be delicious; It’s the height of fresh fruit season which makes the cocktails extra refreshing. Second, they should be easy; no one wants to spend their time behind the bar at summer get togethers! Lastly, they should be crowd pleasers. Now grab your pitcher and get ready, here are our 5 favorite pitcher cocktail recipes to enjoy this summer!
A Paloma Pitcher
Recipe via Goop
This drink tends to be one of our go-to’s when going out for after work happy hour, but we also love to include it in our summer outdoor soireés. With only three ingredients, this recipe is a winner!
Recipe via Garnish with Lemon
With the combination of watermelon juice, gin, and mint, this bright pink drink is the perfect amount of sweet. Also note, the watermelon juice is homemade and easier than you think!
Blood Orange and Blackberry Sangria
Recipe via Inspired by This
More often than not we start reaching more towards white and pink wines rather than red, but this recipe is too good to omit from this list. The combination of Pinot Noir and Sparkling wine all in one big pitcher? Yes please!
Sparkling Lavender Vodka Lemonade
Recipe via Saveur
Two things that surely scream summertime? Lemonade and vodka. Combine the two of them with some sparkling soda and you have our hearts. Perfect for a summer afternoon in the backyard!
Recipe via BHG
Sometimes basic is best! Prepare a pitcher of limey margs for your next fiesta. Whether you prefer yours blended or on the rocks, this classic recipe welcomes personal (and fruity!) tweaking.
