Memorial Day (May 27th) is fast approaching on May 27th, marking the unofficial start of the summer season. This relaxing weekend is typically spent with family and friends, soaking up the sun and celebrating longer days ahead.
For those people that are hosting a gathering, it's imperative to have beverages on deck for guests to enjoy alongside backyard barbecuing and outdoor festivities. To celebrate the start of summer, here are three refreshing cocktails that are easy to create and fun to sip. The recipes, courtesy of Sagamore Distillery, offer a variety of flavors and styles, ensuring that there is something for everyone to enjoy. Two of the recipes are batchable to make for your whole group.
