4. Watermelon Basil Mezcal Margarita

If you've never had Mezcal (the grandfather of Tequila), boy are you missing out. Recently popularized in the US, mezcal has all the agave awesomeness of tequila, but the smokey finish of a nice scotch. It makes for a nice margarita, but is even nicer with watermelon and basil to keep things refreshing under the sun!

5. Pineapple Moscow Mule

The fresh bubbly ginger taste of a Moscow Mule makes for a nice refreshing beverage on it's own. Throw a little pineapple in the mix for a perfect tropical summertime cocktail.
