Sweet summer cocktail recipes from Fine Wine & Good Spirits

We are sipping into summer in the Fox 43 kitchen. We have Nate from fine wine and good spirits with us this morning. And of course today it's all about the summer cocktails because yesterday was the first day of summer. So we're getting in the spirit. What do you have for us to get in the spirit? Oh my gosh, so clever. Look at that. I'd like to think I did it on purpose, but I did not. Alright, Nate, what are we making some summer inspired drinks? So the first one we're going to do is the summer peach. So this is going to be an ounce of white rum, which in this case is going to be the Captain Morgan. So we're going to add that into the shaker. We want an ounce of the peach schnapps. There we go. And then it's going to be two ounces of orange juice. Can smell that peach from here. It's it's a pretty strong. Oh yes, that is a strong one. And then we are going to shake that. Shake it up. I love it with the summer cocktails. You can really add those fruit drinks into them. The fruit mixes and that kind of gives you that little sweet summer vibe. So we're going to put that in the glass. So I'm going to top it off with an ounce of cranberry juice for a little bit tartness. And some fun color. Yeah, I don't know. Look at that. That makes it look like when you do stuff like that. Like if I do that at home, it makes it fancy. It makes it look like I know what I'm doing. Yes, that's the key to life. Pretend. Fake it till you make it. And then you can you can put a little bit of garnish on there. OK, but you can make a nonalcoholic version too if you'd like. I'm going to do that as you as you keep because you said just instead of the peach schnapps, we just kind of swap out some peach nectar. Yeah, all right. So I'm going to do that. I'm going to do that. I got I'm going to make them for me and Jackie are and you can move down and tell me about what else we have here. So the second one we have here is the spiked lemonade. So that is two ounces, the platinum 10 X vodka and then six ounces of your favorite lemonade. Just shake that together. Put that in a glass is a real simple, simple one, you know, and I garnished it with some blueberries and some kiwis. And again, we can do a little bit of mint on top. Adds that little aromatic top. I love putting frozen fruit into my drinks like frozen blueberries and stuff like that. It just adds that extra flavor and ice cubes. Yeah, you don't water it down quite as much with the frozen fruit, too. So it keeps the flavors more lively. And then the last one we have is the summer sunset, which is an ounce of this redemption high ride bourbon, half an ounce of the strawberry sour mash liqueur, which is actually really tasty. I like that. Two dashes of Angostura bitters and then half an ounce of lime juice. You throw that in your shaker. You mix it up. You put it in the glass there and you top it with ginger beer. My favorites, the Gosling's. And then we can. Cut a little fancy strawberry to put on the rim of each glass and again. It's a little mint. I say it's not the garnishes, right? There's a fresh bartender shot over there. I do. I mean, this is what I tell you. You see what I do for you, Jackie? I do this right. I make it fancy. Hit the mints. Yeah, hit it with a little mint. You don't always need the alcohol. You can do a little bit of everything. Little secret, though. I completely messed up. You did? You never tell. Well, I can't, you know, I cannot lie. So here it is. Nate, thank you so much. The summer peach. Let me try it. Delish. Couldn't tell you messed up. Yeah, I shouldn't have told you. You shouldn't have told me. Keeping it to myself. As always, though, if you're not having the mocktail version, make sure you drink responsibly. Nate, thanks so much. Happy summer.
