Our Favorite Summer Cocktail Recipes
Copied to Clipboard
With summer in full swing, we all love spending time outside with our friends and loved ones.
We've partnered with our friend and mixologist Jason Westplate to create a few easy summer drinks that are sure to be crowd favorites. Jason is one of the founders of Big Watt Beverage Co. and helped create the cocktail offering at Nighthawks Diner in Minneapolis, so we couldn't wait to come up with some light, refreshing summer beverages.
If you're looking for new furniture to host your group, we recommend the Elliot 8-Piece Sectional Set for communal deep seating or the Pepin Bar Height Dining Set for more compact outdoor spaces.
