It is so humid and warm outside. Wouldn’t days just be better with a cold glass of white wine cocktail or with a pitcher of this goodness? It takes just a couple of ingredients and only five minutes of your time. You can make this in a blender as well as in a cocktail shaker. These three cocktails are the citrusy decadence that you need to make your summer dreams come true.

These recipes are for a whole bunch of people, so scale down if you want to enjoy this solo.


White Wine Mojitos

Refreshing and rum-free, this four-ingredient cocktail will blow your mind. Great for brunches and pool parties, you’ll never want to go back to regular mojitos. To prepare this concoction, you’ll need white wine, lemonade, mint leaves and a whole load of lemons. In a jug or large tumbler, add a bottle of your favourite white wine, 1/2 cup of sparkling lemonade or tonic, a cup of mint leaves and lemon juice from two lemons. Pour into wine glasses and garnish with a lemon wheel.


Strawberry White Wine Cocktail

This heavenly combination of strawberry and white wine is so good you’ll be sipping it all year round. A bottle of white wine, vodka, strawberries, honey, lemons and soda. In a jug, add a bottle of wine, a cup of vodka, 24 pieces of strawberries, six tablespoons of honey, juice from 5 lemons and three cups of soda. Mix all ingredients and pour into glasses. Garnish with mint leaves. You can add some thyme to give it a bit of herb boost.


White Wine Sangria

Ideal for your next party, this is an absolute crowd-pleaser. While a traditional sangria has a red wine base this is a great twist-off on a classic sangria. You’ll need a bottle of chilled wine, three oranges sliced, 1/4 cup of brandy, 2 cups of soda, 2/3 cup of sugar and lemon. Mix on all of them together and set the pitcher aside for half a day.
