Refreshing Cocktails

Long, fizzy and citrus-driven pours. Cocktails to cool things down.

Showing 33 recipes.

Refreshing cocktails are built on length, fizz and acidity. Tall glass, plenty of ice, a clean mixer (tonic, soda, ginger beer) and citrus on top. They're paced for a hot afternoon, not a slow-sipping winter evening.

Proportions matter more than ingredients here — fill the glass with ice every time, pour the mixer last, and don't let the drink sit before you serve it.

Who it's for

Warm weather, daytime drinking, and anyone who wants to nurse one slowly without it getting heavy.

How to choose

Bittersweet? Aperol Spritz or Americano. Sharp and clean? Gin & Tonic or Tom Collins. Spicy? Moscow Mule or Dark and Stormy.
