Memorial Day is a long weekend that celebrates the start of summer. It can get very hot on this holiday so it is essential to have some refreshing, cold drinks to cool you down. It doesn't matter if your party is large or small, you can make Memorial Day memorable with some simple cocktails. These can be crafted with the freshest fruits, herbs and spices, and can be served chilled or on the rocks.
The gimlet has been the classic cocktail, but there are many fun festive options. The frozen blackberry drink is one of the most well-known. A savory greyhound is another variation of the classic greyhound. Cucumber-infused vodka makes a nonalcoholic version.
A watermelon diquiri makes a fun and festive cocktail. It's simple to make, and it's perfect for hot weather. Watermelon daiquiris contain fresh mint and lime juice. You can serve them with a lime wedge. For a more boozy flavour, you could add rum and a small amount of white wine. Alternatively, you can substitute the rum with vodka.
For a more complex cocktail you could try the peach-lemon marmalade. This is a classic southern summer drink, and it's one of the tastier ones. The tartness from the lemon is balanced by sweetness from the apricot jam.
There are many different ways to decorate Memorial Day beverages. For something more traditional, try the Collins Park Sour or Pimm’s Cup. You can also enjoy these drinks at your backyard BBQ or poolside.
A great way to get your backyard grill going is with melonagua fresca. This is a festive and fun cocktail you can make right in your backyard. To add sophistication and elegance, serve the cocktail with a sage or rosemary leaf.
A slushie keeps your grill cool. A slushie traditionally consists of a blue-colored slush with lime. However, you can make a red slushie by adding the red color of your favorite fruits to it. Frozen blackberries, lime water, and rum are all required to make a Memorial Day Slushie. Your slushie should be garnished with strawberries and mint leaves in addition to all the other ingredients.
An American flag Jell-O shot can be a fun and festive way of enjoying a tasty and refreshing drink. This is a great choice for an outdoor Memorial Day event. The recipe is easy to follow and can be made in no time.
Add some kimchi or other flavorings to your slushie. This will give it some kick and make your Memorial Day libations a lot more enjoyable.

How To
How to make a good martini?
A martini can be made from gin or vodka, vermouth, and water. Before serving, the ingredients should be thoroughly mixed. The chilled glass is preferred. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. Mixing it can ruin the flavor.
A martini can be served with two olives. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
Although you can use any type or alcohol, it is better to use 100%-grain alcohol such as Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail more texture. There are many types of vermouths available. We recommend that you choose one with no added sugar. Cocktails that contain sugar are too sweet.
To start making a martini, pour 2 ounces of dry vermouth into a shaker filled with ice. Add 1 ounce of vodka. Stir vigorously until combined. Put the mixture in a chilled martini cup and garnish it with an olive.
To make a martini using a shaker, follow the same steps above. Remember not to shake the mixture too much - only enough to combine all the ingredients.
