Spirit.Ed: Summer 2024 Is Here & We’ve Got Some Great Adult Beverages On Deck

T he summer months are in full swing and this time of year comes with vacations, backyard kickbacks, day parties, weekend excursions, and more. Libations are also on deck for some of the activities listed previously, and we’ve got a nice collection of adult beverages for Summer 2024.

I’m not a big fan of summer. There, I said it. Growing up in the Mid-Atlantic region, the muggy temps, long days, and steamy nights have never been my favorite. However, I have learned to adjust by way of a cold beverage in hand.

While it’s typical to assume that summer will be dominated by citrus-forward and shaken drinks, there are some options out there that go beyond the typical margaritas, mojitos, and rum punches that the warm months are known for.

I’ll also level with readers by admitting that this roundup should’ve been done weeks ago but life happens and I’m playing a lot of catch-up. I also have to put together a 4th of July roundup this week so pardon the overload. That said, many of your adult beverage needs should easily be covered between this guide and the one coming on Wednesday (July 3).

Hopefully, you’ll find a new favorite among the offerings below. I’ll be updating this guide periodically through the summer so keep this one in your bookmarks for me.

As always, sip safely and surely.
