00:02 Hi, I'm Amanda with my recipes.

00:07 Hello summer.

00:09 What I really meant to say was,

00:11 hello summer cocktails.

00:14 What better way to celebrate the season

00:16 than by giving a few toasts

00:17 to some delicious mouth-watering cocktails.

00:21 I have a feeling the following five cocktails

00:23 will get heavy rotation this summer season.

00:27 Watermelon mint margaritas.

00:30 Nothing says summer like the sweet,

00:32 refreshing bite of watermelon,

00:34 which is what makes this recipe such a treat.

00:37 Combined with fresh lime juice,

00:39 smooth tequila, and fresh mint leaves,

00:42 you have a frozen slice of summer

00:45 poured right in your glass.

00:48 Tequila mojitos.

00:50 You say tequila, I say mojitos.

00:53 This recipe answers our call

00:56 by combining a simple sugar concoction

00:58 with fresh mint, lemon-lime soft drink,

01:01 tequila, and fresh lime juice.

01:04 It's easy, can be made up to a week ahead,

01:06 and screams summer.

01:08 Honeydew mimosas.

01:11 When I'm feeling the need to celebrate,

01:13 I whip up some honeydew mimosas.

01:16 The succulent taste of honeydew melon

01:19 in combination with the bite from sparkling wine

01:22 work together beautifully.

01:24 Plus, aren't you really just looking for an excuse

01:26 to say honeydew over and over again this summer?

01:29 Shortcut sangria.

01:33 Simply combine vanilla-flavored syrup,

01:35 oranges, lime, orange juice, dry red wine, and voila.

01:40 Shortcut sangria is a reality.

01:44 It's got all the fresh, citrusy taste you love

01:47 without any weight.

01:48 Pim's Cup.

01:51 If I'm craving spice with a citrus twist,

01:54 then you know right where I'm going.

01:56 Straight to the Pim's Cup.

01:58 This recipe combines Pim's number one cup,

02:01 a gin-based liqueur, with the bright bite

02:04 from ginger ale and sparkling water.

02:07 A refreshing combo you will revisit every summer.
