How to Weego
Summer Cocktails
Summer is in full swing, which means many a cocktails are being had while soaking up the sun beside the water. At Weego we’re a bit biased towards all things orange, so these are our favorite orange summer cocktails to sip on in the heat:
First up is a New Orleans native called the Hurricane, and it’s as reckless as its name and origin, which is the famed Bourbon Street –
• 2 oz. light rum
• 2 oz. dark rum
• 6 oz. passion fruit juice
• 6 oz. orange juice
• 2 tbsp. Grenadine
• 2 orange slices
• 2 cherries
Mix all the liquid ingredients together and pour them over an ice-filled glass – then garnish with some orange slices & cherries and enjoy! (recipe serves 2)
Next we have a safer poolside elixir. What the June Bug lacks in alcohol content it makes up for in deliciousness –
• 3 cups ginger ale
• 4 tbsp. Grenadine
• 4 tbsp. orange juice
• 3 scoops of orange sherbert
Blend all this goodness together and pour it into an ice-filled glass. To add more of a kick, throw in some white rum! (recipe serves 4)
This next cocktail, Summer Orange Splash, is strong enough to make bad ideas seem like good ideas. It’s no coincidence the acronym is SOS –
• 2 oz. Absolute Citron vodka
• 1 oz. of Cointreau or Triple Sec
• 1 splash of lime juice
• 1 splash of orange juice
Mix together and pour your SOS over an ice-filled glass – garnish as you will! (recipe serves 1)
To end the list we’ll to a non-alcoholic bevi, the Orange Swizzle –
• 1 can frozen orange juice concentrate
• 1 quart of ginger ale
• Some cherries
• Maybe some cherry juice?
Toss a heaping scoop of orange juice concentrate into an ice-filled glass, then fill that glass with ginger ale. Throw in some cherry juice, if you’d like, to top it off. Give it a little stir before indulging! (recipe serves 4)
We hope you enjoy our Weego-fied summer menu but some obvious points to make after we promote alcohol to you – don’t be one of those idiots who drinks and drives, ok? Enjoy responsibly, people! And don’t Weego while intoxicated either. Try to stand up from your lounge chair every once in a while to get a gauge on your sobriety or lack thereof. Also, remember that alcohol goggles are very convincing and horribly inaccurate. ‘Til next time!
