As I gear up for my kitchen renovation, I’m already thinking about inviting people over to see the final results. Actually, I’m thinking of having a “before” party so people can see the current kitchen. Then the “after” party will be even more exciting to see people’s reactions. With this in mind, I’ve noticed some great looking cocktails linked up in the weekly #HomeMattersParty. I’ve compiled a selection of fruity and refreshing cocktails for any summer gathering.
Mojitos
- Strawberry-Lemon Mojito from Clair Justine
- Cucumber-Mint Mojito via Cooking on the Front Burner
- Lydia Outloud shares a Sparkling Blackberry Mojito
- Pineapple Mojito with Spiced Rum via Giggles Galore
Sangrias

- Cooking with Curls shares a Summer Berry Sangria
In the Blender

Before Party
My “before” party is going to be super casual. I’ll open some bags of chips and peel off the lids of store bought dips. THAT casual!
Red solo cup casual.
But, the “after” party….
I’ve already purchased Mason jar mugs. We haven’t opened the set yet, but we somehow ended up with one, and it gets fought over. Since most of our cups are mismatched, having a set seemed like a good idea!
Maybe I need some of the fun copper Moscow Mule mugs too!
Pin for Later
As always, feel free to pin and share.
Since I probably won’t be doing more than opening a few bottles of wine for my “before” party, I need the pin for the “after” party!
This post just made me VERY thirsty! 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing my blackberry mojito. Have a wonderful weekend! – Lydi
It’s a great recipe, I can’t wait to try it!
I adore a great sangria! perfect for summer
Summer goes by so fast. I am pinning this to enjoy a couple of them while Hubs is off work. Both of us need to enjoy our back yard and forget about our to do lists for a day or to. These look perfect for that. Pinning
What a nice collection of drink recipes! I like to treat myself now and then with a cool drink on the patio after a hot summer day.
