Looking for some outstandingly refreshing and delicious summer drink recipes? I’ve got you covered! Read on for the ultimate list of summer drinks, including cocktails, mocktails, frozen delights, totally kid-friendly recipes and more!

I’ll make this super easy for you by breaking these delicious drink recipes into categories. Use the table of contents to jump right to the section you need!  Some drinks cross categories, but I put them in the most logical spot (at least in my mind). For example, if it’s a frozen boozy drink, I stuck it in the cocktails section. You’ll figure it out. It’s not really rocket science! 😀  The majority of the recipes are pretty self-explanatory, but I added a quick note next to those that aren’t.

One last thing: while the drink recipes all go to the bloggers who created them, the product recommendations below each section uses affiliate links. If you make a purchase, I get a small commission at no extra charge to you. Thanks a bunch and enjoy these yummy summer drink recipes!
