The Knockturnal’s Memorial Day Cocktail Roundup

Nothing better than celebrating a day off than with a drink in hand.

Memorial Day weekend is here and with the weather becoming warmer, there is no reason to not celebrate with an outdoor party.  And if you are hosting a party, you have to have a signature cocktail in mind.  Luckily, we have a few easy and delicious recipes and canned drink recommendations for you to try out that will blow you away.

Our first two cocktail recipes come from BACARDÍ.  The drink is called Life’s A Beach and this drink is as refreshing as it can get.  The addition of the coconut water to the drink enhances the passionfruit flavor making it the perfect tropical drink to have.

BACARDÍ Life’s A Beach Group Serve

omemade Sparkling White Wine Sangria with Peaches and RaspberriesIngredients:

  • 9 oz BACARDÍ Añejo Cuatro Rum
  • 4 ½ oz Real® passionfruit puree-infused syrup
  • 4 ½ oz lime juice
  • 9 oz coconut water

Instructions: Mix all ingredients together in a punch bowl and serve in highball glasses cubed over ice. Garnish with a pineapple leaf and/or pineapple wedge.

 

The next drink from BACARDÍ is their Rum Punch.  Everyone is familiar with a rum punch but what makes it so delicious is the perfect balance of all the tropical fruits.  Well now you don’t have to guess the ratios any longer.  And BACARDÍ even has a step by step video tutorial on how to make this in a bigger batch if you are hosting a larger party or get-together.

 

BACARDÍ Rum Punch Group Serve

Ingredients:

  • 6 oz BACARDÍ Superior Rum
  • 3 oz BACARDÍ Black Rum
  • 1 ½ oz grenadine
  • 6 oz orange juice
  • 6 oz pineapple juice
  • 3 oz cranberry juice

Instructions: Mix all ingredients together in a punch bowl and serve over cubed ice in individual highball glasses. Garnish with lemon slices.

But, we also know that sometimes you don’t have the time to make a signature cocktail.  Luckily, BACARDÍ has recently expanded their Real Rum Canned Cocktails to include new flavors including Pina Colada, Mango Mojito, and a Strawberry Mojito.  These canned drinks are so delicious and refreshing making them the perfect drink to take on the go or to serve on a moments notice.

 

Our next few drinks are some wonderful and tasty Sangria recipes made with Gancia wine.  If you’re unfamiliar with Gancia, it is a brand with over 170 years of wine-making expertise making it the oldest Italian sparkling wine brand out there.  Two of the wines they use for the Sangria are the Gancia’s Chainti D.O.C.G which is a red wine that pairs perfectly with any meat you plan to barbecue this weekend.  There is also the Gancia’s Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie D.O.C which is a refreshing pinot grigio that has a delicate citrus and floral notes, making it the perfect summer wine to have.

Gancia Red Sangria (served 6-8)

Ingredients

  • 1 bottle Gancia Chianti D.O.C.G.
  • 1 cup orange juice
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 orange, sliced
  • 1 apple, sliced
  • 1 cup blueberries
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 1⁄2 cups sparkling water

 

Instructions:

In a large pitcher, mix together Gancia Chianti D.O.C.G., orange juice, and sugar. Stir in oranges,

apples, blueberries, and strawberries.  Refrigerate until ready to serve, preferably 2 hours. Top off with sparkling water before serving.

 

Gancia White Sangria (serves: 6-8)

Ingredients:

  • 1 bottle Gancia Pinot Grigio Delle Venezie D.O.C.
  • 1/4 cup apple brandy
  • 1 medium lime, sliced
  • 1 medium lemon, sliced
  • 1/4 cup of cane sugar
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries
  • 1 cup sliced raspberries
  • 1 medium ripe peach or nectarine, thinly sliced

 

Instructions:

Add lime, lemon, and sugar to a large pitcher and muddle with a muddler or gently crush with a wooden spoon for 45 seconds.  Add apple brandy and muddle again to combine for 30 seconds. Add nectarine, raspberries and strawberries and stir to incorporate. Then add wine and stir once more.  Refrigerate until ready to serve, preferably 2 hours.

 

And for those looking to keep it simple, SVEDKA’s newest spirits-based hard seltzer, SVEDKA Tropics Tea Spritz is easy to serve up for easy Memorial Day entertaining. Offering three delicious flavors of Raspberry Kiwi, Pineapple Guava and Orange mango, SVEDKA Tropics combines SVEDKA Vodka, sparkling water, natural fruit flavors and slight hints of real tea to come together for a bold, smooth taste in every vibrant sip.
