July 4th Cocktails & Mocktails

This year at your July 4th celebration, don’t just serve the same ol’ same ol’ beer and wine – try adding a bit of flair to your party with one of these signature and patriotic drinks!  Yes, you’ll have those that prefer their light beer and wine, but for those looking to step it up a notch, try serving one of these fun drinks below.  Like any drink, you can play with it until you find what makes it yours, so use these recipes as a guide.  Also,  I am super excited about the mocktails/kid drinks below.  You don’t want to make anyone feel left out, so make sure to include the non-alcoholic drinks as well.  Enjoy!

To round out the festivities, check out these posts to see my fave maternity and family outfits (dads and kids included) along with my super festive tablescape + cute pics of my pups.

Red White and Blue Frozen Sangria 

I’m imagining Blake Shelton singing “Sangria”…….just with a patriotic twist 🙂

 

Toasted Coconut Strawberry Tequila Cocktail

Toasted coconut – yes please!

 

Red White and Blue Strawberry Jell-O Shots

It’s fruit, so it’s healthy.

 

Red, White, and Blue Wine Sparklers

For those who don’t want to give up their pinot grigio…..guilty (well, except for now – you know, the whole pregnancy thing.)

 

Poptail

This is an oldie but a goodie – we’ve definitely rocked these before in Rockport – get it, rocked it in Rockport!  Try using red, white, and blue popsicles for patriotic colors.

 

4th of July Fruity Ice Drinks

Too stinking cute – could also be mixed with sparkling water for the non-alcis.

 

The Firecracker Cocktail

Can be consumed all summer long.

 

Blueberry Strawberry Mojito

A nice twist on a classic.

 

Blueberry Coconut Sparkler

Again, anything with coconut, count me in.

 

Land of the Free Lemonade

Better than Chick-Fil-A’s……

 

 

For the preggos and/or kiddies

Kid Friendly Patriotic Punch

Don’t kids just love anything that will turn their mouths blue?

 

4th of July Milkshakes

I’m eyeing this one for sure – haha the pregnant lady drinking a milkshake – how stereotypical 🙂

 

Captain America Kids’ Drink

You may not know this about me, but I’m a huge Avengers fan, so yeah, of course I’m including this one.  I wonder if there is an Iron Man one….
