Grapefruit and basil aren't usually the first ingredients that come to mind when thinking co*cktail, but the tart and herby flavors complement each other perfectly in this whimsical drink.

Sometimes you just want to slowly savor a summer drink. Enter this Tangerine Champagne co*cktail with a punch of tangerine juice, Grand Marnier, and bubbly.
Lemon and Grapefruit Prosecco co*cktails
Two citrusy co*cktails in one recipe? Yes! Prosecco with lemon and with grapefruit juice. Make them both and serve them at your next brunch with friends!
Melon co*cktails
Melon-based co*cktails are great for spring and summer entertaining, and they can make for a nice, light aperitif before a meal with friends. These fruity co*cktail recipes are both beautiful and blissful!
Watermelon Mojito
Some co*cktails are perfect to be made by the pitcher, and this watermelon mojito is one of them. The rum and ginger ale in this drink complement the watermelon perfectly.
Cantaloupe Margaritas
Packed with vitamins A and C (both antioxidants!), this refreshing Cantaloupe Margarita puts a tasty spin on an old classic -- just in time for summer.
Watermelon Mint co*cktail
Made with just 5 ingredients including watermelon, vodka, and seltzer water, this crisp, fruity co*cktail is the perfect easy summer happy hour drink.

Picnic Punch
Mixing up a refreshing, fruity punch can be a great way to liven up your next warm weather party or intimate outing. Either way, this picnic punch hits the mark!

If you and other commenters from Portland were over the weather a month ago when you published this, how do you feel now? Geez. As a beer drinker, I'm still on porters and stouts, my winter brew preferences. Spring co*cktails sound like such a distant dream...
