We turned frozen pineapple into frozen, Margarita-flavored pineapple. All you need is a pineapple, some blanco tequila, agave syrup and fresh lime juice. Mix all the liquids together, place pineapple wedges into the cocktail and pop the whole thing in the freezer. The pineapple slices soak in all the delicious Margarita flavors and then freeze into snackable spiked popsicles. #margarita #pineapple #summer #frozen #cocktails

Some drinking games translate perfectly to the bar environment, which makes them great for group nights out or fending off awkward moments when conversation runs dry. #drinkinggames #beerpong #bars

We particularly love flower garnishes—maybe because we often end up perching them behind our ears or placing them in our lapels as we drink down the last few sips of the beverages they adorned. Here, eight cocktails garnished with flowers for the prettiest happy hour ever. #cocktails #garnishes #diy #craft

It’s time to make a watermelon keg. The process is simple—and not all that different than making a pumpkin keg—but it makes for a showpiece that completes any summer party. #watermelon #watermelonkeg #summer #cocktails

Punching a hole into the bottom of a beer can is like maxing out one of those hammer strength tests at the county fair. It’s more about technique than it is about raw power. That said, the technique takes practice. It looks ridiculous to stand there thumbing the bottom of a beer while everyone’s waiting, so nail it a few times before taking your trick public. #beer #shotgun

This take on the college drink is inspired by Mediterranean flavors. A mix of ultra-tangy San Pellegrino Limonata, fresh grapefruit juice, Prosecco and gin (obviously), it’s as easy to make as anything you threw together in college, but much, much tastier. And the addition of basil makes it extra photo-friendly as well as deliciously aromatic. #grapefruit #prosecco #gin #ginbucket #summer #punch #cocktails #cocktailrecipes

With sloe gin (we prefer Sipsmith’s) and Yellow Chartreuse at the base, this Gin Bucket is boldly fruity and herbal tasting. With slices of fresh strawberry and cucumber, the cocktail gets a Pimm’s Cup-esque upgrade. #gin #cocktails #cocktailrecipes #punch #summer #ginbucket

This cocktail relies on the common base ingredients of a Gin Bucket (gin, soda and citrus) while upping the ante with more upscale ingredients (prosecco and dry curaçao). Dry curaçao has a deep orange flavor and less sweetness than you get with something similar like triple sec, giving the drink more complexity. The juniper-forward London Dry Gin is balanced out by zesty fresh grapefruit juice and semi-sweet prosecco. #gin #ginbucket #bloodorange #cocktails #cocktailrecipes #prosecco #summer…

This classed up riff on the Gin Bucket uses Barr Hill Tom Cat Gin in place of a standard gin. The gin is mixed with raw honey, imparting a touch of sweetness and a lot of character. The Tom Cat joins the traditional Gin Bucket mixer, Fresca, as well as Champagne to dry out the sweetness and add extra fizz. #gin #ginbucket #french75 #punch #cocktails #cocktailrecipes
