Spring is springing. Birds are chirping. The Kentucky derby is happening! And I have alllll of your cocktail ideas, right here.

Eddie is obsessed with the Kentucky Derby, so we always try to make something fun for the event! I have tons of mint julep recipes (including a brand new one in The Pretty Dish!), like blueberry mint juleps and pineapple mint juleps. But my favorite?

These watermelon mint juleps!

I also adore anything with strawberries, because ’tis the season. They are my #1 favorite fruit, for sure!

These Strawberry Gin Lemonades are a dream. Gin gets more amazing as we get older. I’m sure of it.

And Rosé Sangria is quite possibly the best cocktail to ever exist.

Since I’ve been traveling up a storm for The Pretty Dish, I figured that sharing a bunch of my favorite spring drinks was perfect for today. And let’s be real – they are kind of of spring AND summer drinks.
