Spring is in the air, which means it’s time to start making the most of the longer days and warmer weather. And what better way to welcome in the new season than by mixing up a refreshing cocktail? It’s been a long, cold and grey winter, so let’s bid adieu to hot toddies, mulled wine and espresso martinis until next year, and embrace spring with fresh and fizzy cocktails that embody the best of the new season.
While it’s always nice to head out to a favorite classic cocktail bar or lounge, there’s something special about testing out your own bartending skills right at home, whether you’re preparing a spring drink for a casual brunch or mixing up a batch of easy cocktail refreshments for a celebratory springtime fête. Bid adieu to those 4 p.m. sunsets and say hello to peak brunch season, soaking up these sunnier days. From bubbly beverages and champagne cocktails to zesty spritzers and mezcal libations, these are the best spring cocktail recipes to whip up this season.
