If you're planning a beach day or a boating day this summer and want to pack ingredients for a no-fuss cocktail, here are some of our best and most refreshing suggestions!

‍

1. Cherry Whiskey & Coke

For all the cola lovers out there, our Cherry Whiskey amps up the classic Whiskey & Coke with a touch of sweetness on the finish from the cherries.

2. Cherry Vodka Lemonade

This is by far our longest-standing most popular cocktail not only because it's delicious but it's dangerously refreshing. Drinking this by the water is a quintessential moment in Northern Michigan that everyone who visits up north should enjoy.

3. Moscow Mule

A mule is an easy drink to whip up just by packing a couple ingredients in your cooler. As long as you've got a lime, some ginger beer, and our Wheat Vodka, you've got yourself a mule. Don't worry about serving one of these in a copper mug, when you're out on the water, the rules get thrown out the window and the focus is on what's in your cup.

4. Gin & Tonic

This classic sipper is enjoyed all year round, but there's something so special about cooling down in the summer sun with a refreshing Gin & Tonic. You can enjoy this with our Barrel Finished Gin as pictured to add a touch of oaky flavor on the finish, or use our Peninsula Gin for a more traditional G&T.
