5 Easy July 4th Cocktails That Will Wow Your Backyard Guests
4th of July Holiday background. Cranberry punch with ice and stars shaped apple pieces in glass ... More against background of old turquoise board and sun rays. Patriotic American Flag drinks. Mock up. Fireworks aren't the only thing lighting up the sky on the Fourth of July—your cocktail glass deserves a little sparkle, too. Whether you're grilling on the patio, lounging poolside, or watching your neighbors try to operate a questionable box of fireworks, the right drink sets the tone for summer's most celebratory holiday. Sure, there's always beer and rosé, but why not raise the bar (literally) with something a little more festive? A great Independence Day cocktail should be cold, refreshing, and easy to batch—or at least not require you to muddle herbs while everyone else is in the pool. Think citrusy highballs, bright spritzes, and classic American spirits like bourbon, rye, and rum given a seasonal twist. And yes, if it's red, white, or blue (or better yet, all three), that's a bonus. I tapped bartenders and spirits brands across the country for their go-to July 4th drinks—recipes that range from ultra-simple to firework-worthy showstoppers. Whether you're planning a low-key cookout or a full-blown backyard bash, these cocktails will bring the star-spangled spirit straight to your glass. Bonus: many of them can be scaled up for pitchers or coolers, so you're not playing bartender all day while everyone else works on their sunburn. From a fruity spritz to a bourbon-spiked lemonade worthy of your uncle's grilling playlist, these drinks deliver summer in every sip. So grab your ice bucket, stock up on citrus, and cue the patriotic playlist—it's time to celebrate America with the most American tradition of all: a good cocktail in hand.
