There’s no debating that lemonade is a staple of summer. Making it one of the best summer drinks naturally, but it can be kicked up a notch.

If wanting to sub in vodka, try mixing with coconut water and a blue drink like Kool Aid, Gatorade, or Hawaiian Punch.
Blueberry Mojito
Blueberry mojitos are as adorable as they are delicious. To make these grab mint, lime, white rum, club soda, some sugar, and of course, those blueberries.
A frozen and blended version of this drink is also an option. That blueberry flavor can be in syrup or fresh fruit form. Just be sure to add in some of the little berries at the end as a garnish.
Tropical Fruit Sangria
The more fruit the better for a fruit sangria. Eliciting the best summer vibes can be as simple as adding in tropical fruits. Some options include kiwi, pineapple, guava, mango guava, and dragon fruit.
For the sangria itself, the base is actually pretty simple. Mix a chosen alcohol (brandy and rum work well) with a white or red wine.
