Summer Cocktails



I had a very long day today and right now I am unwinding with a fuzzy navel. This is such an excellent summer drink and is so refreshing. In case you don't know the ingredients or the recipe here goes:

Fuzzy Navel

3 oz. Peach Schnapps

3oz. Orange juice.

Of course this is stirred and not shaken. It is served in a highball glass with lot of ice. Speaking of cocktails let me share two other favorite summer cocktails.

Blue Lagoon


2 shots Vodka

2 shots Blue Curacao and

Top this with Lemonade. Garnish with lemons. This is also served in a highball glass

Peach Martini

2 oz. Vodka or Gin or White Rum

2 oz Peach Schnapps

Mix the two in a shaker with ice. Strain into a martini glass. Garnish with a thin wedge of peach. I also prefer cherry garnish as it renders a cool color to the drink.

Like they say in all alcohol commercials....please drink responsibly and do not drink and drive. Cheers!

It's 8:15am but that doesn't stop me from drooling over one of these delicious cocktails! ;)

We are having people over tonight, perhaps I'll surprise them with some Peach Martinis or even a Fuzzy Navel, they sound so good, thanks Sai.

I've tried a fuzzy navel before and they are good. I am definitely going to try the blue lagoon and the peach martini though. The heat is unbearable, so this might help out! :)

Hi Lotus:
Peach Martini is my favorite cocktail. Have fun at your dinner party! I am sure it will be a great success.

Hi Sanjay:
It is ideal for the summer. I don't mind long days....it is the heat that kills me.

Hi Asha:
Yes watermelons are great for the summer but unfortunately they don't give you a buzz ;-)

Hi Beenz:
Yes this blog post is for such a good cause to deal with the summer heat and be happy ;-)
