Hendrick’s Gin has some fun suggestions, incorporating ingredients like cold espresso coffee of using distinctive gins to add a bit of extra flair to this classic drink.

Take your summer drinks up a notch with these beer cocktails
Beer is the base for these refreshing summer cocktails
Beer Cocktail

It’s the perfect season for an afternoon beer (especially a beer after mowing the lawn). A crisp pilsner, hoppy IPA, or fruity wheat beer is refreshing on a humid summer day. But if you’ve never used your favorite beer to make a cocktail, you’re truly missing out on something thirst-quenching, complex, and seasonally appropriate.
