Hey, Reader!

Grilling is a summertime staple. There's nothing better than a cookout with friends and family filled with good food, good drinks and good company.

These laid-back dinners call for equally easy drinks that serve a crowd. Think big batches and cocktails that come together without too much fuss. These drinks work well for your celebrations for the 4th and are good enough to keep around all summer long:

blueberry lemonade This summer cocktail is light and rich in flavor all at the same time. Adding limoncello to the vodka or gin makes for a tart and sweet lemonade that is flavored and colored with fresh blueberries! get the recipe »

vodka strawberry lemonade Vodka strawberry lemonade is a fresh and fruity lemonade with just the right amount of booze to help you maximize lazy summer afternoons! Made with fresh strawberries and lemons, this glass of summer goodness is bursting with fruity flavor. Forget going for the processed stuff – from scratch is oh so much better. get the recipe »

large batch pitcher drinks These easy pitcher drinks are the fastest way to create a large batch of cocktails (or mocktails) for a crowd. Made using a can of frozen juice concentrate as the main ingredient, you can stir up a pitcher full of tasty drinks with your favorite spirit in just 5 minutes. get the recipe »

Now, who's going to get the grill started? Cheers!
