It’s no secret that one of the best parts of summer is indulging in a refreshing simple pleasure: summer cocktails. In Charlotte, there’s no shortage of summer-inspired drinks bound to help you experience all the season has to offer. These five local cocktails are some of our personal favorites and, if you’re like us, you won’t be disappointed.

If an upside-down popsicle floating in a glass of bubbly doesn’t scream summer, I don’t know what does. Choose between Cava, Brut, Prosecco, or Rose and enjoy this sparkling beverage. It truly is the very definition of summer.

Blending the refreshing flavors of strawberry and grapefruit, along with a hefty dose of tequila, 204 North’s Pink Dahlia does not disappoint. However, be warned — the strawberry salt garnish will have those with a sweet tooth sneakily licking fingers. We won’t tell if you won’t.
