Here are three light, tasty cocktails that are perfect for any spring soiree. 

Blueberry Rum Smash

The blueberries in this cocktail make it a fresh, fruity drink that is perfect for a baby shower or a backyard barbecue. 

What you’ll need: 

1 tablespoon of brown sugar

Fresh or frozen blueberries

2 ounces of rum

3/4 ounce of freshly squeezed lemon juice

Ginger ale

How to make it: 

Cover the bottom of the glass you’re using with some blueberries. Add lemon juice and brown sugar, muddling until the sugar melts. Add crushed ice to the glass and then add rum. Top with the ginger ale and stir gently. Makes one cocktail. 

Green Tea Infused Mojito

This fresh, springy twist on the mojito is sure to please your guests, and green tea is a healthy choice. 

What You’ll Need: 

4 large mint leaves 

1 tablespoon of fresh lime juice

1/2 cup of brewed green tea that has been chilled

2 teaspoons of sugar

1 ounce of white rum

How to Make It: 

Muddle mint, sugar and lime juice together in a glass until the flavors of the leaves release. Add ice until the glass is around three-quarters full. Pour green tea and rum into the glass, and then stir well. Makes a single cocktail. 

Basil Strawberry Margarita

This cocktail doesn't just taste great, but it looks beautiful at your spring party, too. 
 

What you’ll need: 

8 basil leaves

1 can of frozen limeade concentrate

2 to 2 1/2 cups of tequila (silver or gold)

10 strawberries (more if you’re using small ones)

How to make it: 

Add limeade concentrate to a pitcher. Add 2/5 cans of water and the tequila. Stir well. Hull your strawberries and then slice, adding to the pitcher.
