7 Refreshing Spring Cocktails to Sip in 2025
Spring is finally here—time to shake off winter’s chill and welcome sunshine, flowers, and backyard hangs. Whether you're brunching, basking on a patio, or just looking to sip something seasonal and light, we’ve rounded up seven cocktails (and a bonus mocktail!) that are as refreshing as a spring breeze.
These drinks are easy to make, visually stunning, and full of bright flavors perfect for the season.
1. Irish Spring
A nod to the season and its most festive holiday, the Irish Spring cocktail blends Irish whiskey, orange juice, peach brandy, and sweet & sour mix for a citrusy yet smooth sipper. It's perfect for those who want a whiskey drink with a fruity twist—think of it as the cocktail version of spring cleaning for your palate.
2. Chartreuse Swizzle
If spring were a cocktail, this would be it. The Chartreuse Swizzle combines green Chartreuse, pineapple and lime juices, falernum, and crushed ice for a tropical, herbal, and slightly spicy drink that’s as vibrant as a blooming garden.
3. Lillet Blanc Spritz
Looking for something light and aromatic? The Lillet Blanc Spritz is a low-ABV refresher made with Lillet Blanc, soda water, and tonic. It's subtly floral, slightly citrusy, and ideal for lazy Sunday sipping.
4. Aperol Spritz
You know it, you love it, and it’s not going anywhere. The Aperol Spritz blends Aperol, Prosecco, and a splash of soda water for a bittersweet, bubbly drink that’s basically sunshine in a glass.
5. Rosé Spritz
Fresh, floral, and fabulously pink, the Rosé Spritz mixes rosé wine, sparkling water, and a dash of elderflower liqueur. It’s light, elegant, and just the thing for springtime soirées or garden parties.
6. Strawberry Margarita
Juicy strawberries meet tangy lime and smooth tequila in this colorful twist on a classic. The Strawberry Margarita is sweet, zesty, and made for spring evenings when the air still holds a bit of chill.
7. Berry Basil Cooler (Mocktail)
Not drinking? No problem. The Berry Basil Cooler blends strawberries, fresh basil, lime juice, and sparkling water for a refreshing, zero-proof option that still feels festive and fun.
