The 10 Best Cocktails for Your Garden Party

The classic at every garden party: bittersweet, light and made in seconds. With the 3-2-1 rule (Prosecco, Aperol, soda), it turns out just as well every time, even in big batches.

Floral, fresh and low in alcohol – the Hugo is the perfect companion for long summer afternoons. Elderflower and mint taste like the garden itself.

Mint from your own garden, lime and rum: the Mojito is the epitome of summer. Best to set up a little Mojito station with crushed ice.

The summer drink everyone knows: Lillet, wild berry soda, fresh berries and mint. Fruity, light and pretty to look at – a sure crowd-pleaser.

A touch of the Amalfi Coast in your garden: limoncello with Prosecco and soda. Fresh and lemony, and a nice change from the Aperol Spritz.

Brazil’s national drink goes perfectly with grilling: lime, cane sugar and cachaça on crushed ice. Bold, sour and wonderfully refreshing.

For the gin fans among your guests: a Gin & Tonic with raspberries and a splash of raspberry syrup. Pink, bubbly and an eye-catcher on every garden table.

Mexico’s answer to summer: tequila with grapefruit soda, lime and a pinch of salt. Easygoing, thirst-quenching and surprisingly light.

Ginger beer, lime and vodka in an ice-cold copper mug – this highball stays cold for a long time, even in the sun. Spicy, zesty, perfect with anything off the grill.

The alcohol-free star of the party: cucumber, lime, mint and soda. So refreshing that even guests who actually wanted alcohol will drink it – and ideal for anyone who still has to drive.
