Easy 3-Ingredient Cocktails
Strawberry Wine Punch
Wine + Fruit Juice + Sprite. This is one of my top favorite quick cocktails to make. It is delicious and refreshing. Seriously everyone that tries it asks for the recipe and it’s awesome that it is so easy.
Dark ‘n Stormy
Ginger Beer + Lime + Rum. If ginger beer is something you enjoy then this recipe may be your new favorite.
Beach Water Cocktail
UV Blue + Coconut Rum + Sprite. Another one of the recipes I make and am always being asked for the recipe. Seriously this drink just tastes like summer. It’s tropical and refreshing and pretty much perfect in every way.
Key Lime Pie Slush
Key Limes + Coconut Rum + Ice. It’s a key lime pie in a cocktail! The coconut rum in this drink paired with key limes is so good.
Pineapple Bourbon Lemonade
Pineapple Juice + Bourbon + Lime. Have you ever mixed your favorite bourbon with pineapple juice and lime? If you haven’t, and you enjoy bourbon, you’ve got to try this.

Blue Lagoon
Curacao + Lemon + Vodka. This drink is strong, I’ll admit, but absolutely delicious and the bright blue color is super fun.
Watermelon Margarita
Watermelon Juice + Lime Juice + Agave Tequila. I love a good margarita! This is a fun summer twist on a traditional cocktail. Fresh watermelon makes this so refreshing.
Red Wine Sangria
Red Wine + Sprite + Fruit. Sangria is tasty but can feel overwhelming to make. This recipe is simple and so good.
Love In The Cabin Cocktail
Pomegranate Juice + Orange Juice + Gin. This drink flavoring can remind me a bit of the holidays. Anytime I can use a pomegranate, I’m excited, they’re so tasty.

Prosecco + Mango Nectar + Frozen Berries. Perfect for a bridal shower or a birthday party.
Spiked Cranberry Lemonade
Vodka + Lemonade + Cranberry Juice Cocktail. Why have a glass of lemonade in the summer when you have it spiked? The cranberry gives it a unique flavor.

Champagne + Mangos + Honey. I can’t believe I hadn’t thought of putting champagne and mangoes together before. Put it in a blender and you’ve got a yummy cocktail slushie.
Sarasota Lemonade
Wine + Frozen Lemonade + Sprite. Another spiked lemonade, this with a bit of wine to give it a kick. Yum!

Bourbon + Lemon Juice + Maple Syrup. A quick and easy whiskey sour cocktail recipe.

Redneck Margaritas
Frozen Lemonade + Corona beer + Sprite + Tequila Ok this one is four ingredients, but it’s so good I had to add it! I love this fun, easy take on a margarita.
Sea Breeze Cocktail
Vodka + Cranberry Juice + Grapefruit Juice. The cranberry juice in here goes so great with grapefruit juice.
Beer Margarita
Corona + Tequila + Frozen Limeade. It’s a beer and a margarita combined – the best of both!
