The Summer Cocktails Everyone Will Be Ordering This Season
Summer cocktails carry a night from the last of the daylight into the small hours, and this is a look at the ones worth ordering this season, plus where they taste best.
The best summer cocktail knows what it is doing. It shows up cold and a little bright, easy to sip and hard to put down, the kind of drink you order without much thought because the weather practically orders it for you. Summer drinking runs on that ease, and the drinks that define the season are the ones that stay good from the first pour to the last.
The Summer Cocktails Trending This Season
A few drinks define what people are ordering once the weather turns warm. The heat has a way of narrowing the list, pushing the heavy, spirit-forward pours aside in favor of something colder and brighter that rewards a slow sip on a long evening. The drinks below have risen to the top of the summer order this season, each one built for warm air and late light. Here are the pours leading the way.
The Spicy Margarita
The spicy margarita has held the top of the summer order for a few years running, and it shows no sign of slowing. Its tequila-and-lime base gets sharpened with chile for people who want a little heat alongside the refreshment.
The Paloma
The Paloma has caught up close behind, trading the sweetness of a margarita for grapefruit and a salted rim that reads cleaner on a hot afternoon.
The Hugo Spritz
Spritzes have moved past the Aperol standard into the Hugo, a lighter mix of elderflower, prosecco, and mint that has become the default order for anyone after something low-proof and floral.
Stone Fruit Cocktails
Peach and apricot run through the season underneath all of it, turning shaken tequila drinks into the pours that taste most like summer.
The Trending Summer Pours at Jagger Suite
Those same summer flavors run right through our cocktail menu. The spice, the stone fruit, the clean citrus, and the bright berry all have a place here, worked into pours built for warm air and late light. Here are the four leading the order this season.
Bombshell — Don Julio Reposado Tequila, Ancho Reyes, spicy pineapple agave, lime, and a Tajín rim. Pineapple and lime lead, with chile heat from the Ancho Reyes and Tajín building as you drink. It reads like a spicy margarita with a lot more to say.
Peach Please — Lalo Blanco Tequila, Juliette Peach Liqueur, and citrus cordial. Ripe peach and bright citrus carry the whole thing, crisp and uplifting from the first sip. It tastes like summer at its easiest.
Clear Intentions — Don Julio 70 Cristalino Tequila, ginger liqueur, lemon, and yuzu foam. The yuzu foam opens with a floral citrus note, with ginger and lemon underneath and the Cristalino keeping everything clean. Bright and elevated, the kind of pour that suits a long warm evening.
White Horse — Ketel One Vodka, Grand Marnier, strawberry-peppercorn cordial, and aromatic bitters. Strawberry leads with a touch of pepper behind it, kept lively by the Grand Marnier and bitters. Fresh and vibrant, it goes down easy on a warm night.
