A Toast to Summer: Try These 5 Drinks

Is there anything better than capping off a long day at work or getting a date night started with a signature cocktail at one of the best downtown Boise restaurants? Cold drinks and hot summer days are a match made in heaven, and just like there are warming cocktails to toast to the winter season, there are even more that are perfect for the summer months. Here are five cocktails you should try this summer to celebrate the season.

Did Someone Say Margaritas?

If there was a preeminent summertime cocktail, it would probably be this. Sweet, salty, and oh-so cold, however you prefer your margarita, frozen or on the rocks, is the way to go this season. Although deceptively simple, sipping on a margarita made with premium tequila and just the right amount of lime is the perfect way to spend a summer afternoon or evening.

Always Say Yes to the Mule

There’s just something about the classic mule that makes it perfect, no matter the season. The ginger beer features a spice that fits well with the colder months, yet when served in an ice-cold copper mug, the mule is everlastingly refreshing in the summer. With premium vodka and a splash of lime juice, this is sure to be your go-to cocktail this summer and well into the fall as well.

There’s a Mojito for Everyone

The mojito is another hot weather classic cocktail that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you’re out to eat or enjoying social hour at your favorite upscale watering hole, the mojito is a classic for a reason. From the traditional mojito with white rum, lime, and mint to more modern takes with the inclusion of fruit liqueur like pomegranate, if you want something sweet, light, and refreshing, choose the mojito or any of its variants.

A Super-Chilled Martini Always Hits the Spot

There are few cocktails that scream luxury like the martini. Simple, clean, and classic, the martini is a favorite for anyone visiting an upscale Boise downtown restaurant. Gin or vodka stirred with dry vermouth and a couple of olives is all you need for an experience that will have you sipping through the evening with glee. Like most of the cocktails on this list, you have more options than just the traditional. Restaurants like Chandlers, for example, offer a few versions of the martini, including their signature Ten Minute Martini™. After being made, the drink is chilled in ice for ten minutes for a super smooth, super cold drink unlike any other.

Don’t Forget About Premium Wine Offerings

Not much of a cocktail person? If you prefer your drink in a stemmed glass, then there are plenty of wine options to enjoy while you listen to the best live music Boise offers at a local restaurant. For the summer months, try Rosé, Sauvignon Blanc, or Pinot Grigio for a light, refreshing experience.
