Dry Wines

Because dry wines are given more time to ferment than sweet wines, the yeast is able to consume more sugar from the grapes. Ultimately, this results in a lower-sugar wine.

Hard Seltzers

Typically made of a mixture of sparkling water and a clear liquor like vodka or tequila, hard seltzers do not contain artificial preservatives or added flavoring as is common in mixed drinks. They often come with natural fruit juice essence, meaning that they are available in a variety of flavors.

Hard Kombucha

Kombucha typically has very little alcohol content, meaning that even hard kombucha is barely considered an alcoholic beverage. This beverage comes with probiotics from its fermentation process as well as plant compounds from the tea it’s made from.

Jack Daniels

This canned Tennessee honey and lemonade whisky are a great way to enjoy Jack Daniels on the go.

Cutwater Spirits

Make Your Own Mixer

Store-bought mixers add tons of calories and sugar into your cocktails. Instead, go ahead and make your own at home. Not only will it be fresher, which will make your cocktails more delicious, but you can also control how much sugar you put in and use real fruit juices instead of concentrates.

Add Natural Sweetness

Every fruit and even some vegetables have naturally occurring sugars in them. Take advantage of that and use real fruit and homemade juices in your drinks! Not only will they taste delicious, you’ll get all the nutrients from the fresh produce.

Don’t Forget About Sparkling Water

Jazz up your cocktails without adding any more calories. Adding a bit of fizz is not only exciting but cost effective, and will keep you more hydrated than adding bubbly wine.

Lagers

The word lager derives from the German word meaning “to store” because lagers are stored at nearly freezing temperatures before being distributed. Although they can be any number of colors from light to dark, they are generally somewhere in the middle of even lighter. Lagers are often described as tasting crisp and fresh.

Ales

Ales are made with a specific kind of yeast that make them taste fuller and a bit hoppier. They are darker than lagers, but they often still have some taste of fruitiness.

Porter

This beer is very dark in color, almost black, which says a lot about the depth of flavor it has. Although it is a heavier beer, there are still fruity notes to it, and is more aligned with the ale group of beers. Often porters will have the scent or taste of things like chocolate and coffee, but it can also be a bit smoky as well.

Cake Vodka

Strawberry milkshakes can be hard to match with booze, but that’s not the case anymore. Someone thought of the genius idea to add some cake vodka to the sweet drink and make it a truly refreshing summer treat. The flavors blend seamlessly, so I’m guessing you don’t need any more convincing.

Bourbon

You’d better have a bottle of bourbon somewhere in the house, because you have to try this idea right away. It tastes heavenly with vanilla, so that should be your first pick. If you are more of a chocolate fan, that will work too.

Bailey’s Irish Cream

It already sounds delicious just with the mention of Bailey’s. This sweet liquor can be used to spike your summer milkshake in the best possible way. It tastes amazing with different flavors including caramel, vanilla and chocolate.

Beets By J

A fresh and (almost healthy) tonic style cocktail created by California barman, Josh Goldman, is a perfect treat on a hot summer’s day. Made with fresh beet juice, citrus-infused agave syrup, and añejo tequila, this beets (see what we did there?) a boring cocktail any day of the week.

Frozen Cucumber Margarita

You’ve had cucumber water but have you enjoyed a cucumber margarita? The freshness of this ambiguous fruity vegetable (seriously, what is it?), pairs perfectly with Blanco tequila, as the coolness of the cucumber lowers the heat of the alcohol. Add a splash of St-Germain for a sweet and floral lift.   

Celery Margarita

Celery takes center stage as opposed to being an understudy for most cocktails (take that Bloody Mary.) The celery shrub is added to fresh celery juice, sugar, and rice vinegar to create a tangy syrup. Add to Blanco tequila, fresh lime, and pineapple juice to create an aperitif or meal accompaniment.
