Fruity Cocktails

Bright, juicy and easy-drinking. Cocktails that lead with fruit.

Showing 25 recipes.

Fruity cocktails sit at the easy-drinking end of the spectrum. Most lead with fresh citrus, berry or stone-fruit purée, balanced against a clear spirit so the fruit reads first and the alcohol second.

The trick is freshness — bottled juice and tinned purée will pull a fruity drink down faster than anything else. Where the recipe asks for fresh, use fresh.

Who it's for

Anyone who finds spirit-forward drinks too intense, plus summer pours, brunch and group menus.

How to choose

Bright and citrus-driven? Sour-style drinks like a Daiquiri or Margarita. Berry-led? Bramble or French Martini. Tropical? Anything in the tiki section.
