25 4th of July Cocktail Recipes

In keeping with traditional Independence Day colors, many of these cocktails are red, white, or blue. Some, are even star-spangled red, white, and blue!! However, I did not restrict the list to only those colors. Some are simply “it’s a party!!” cocktail beverages to go with our fabulous Independence Day party celebrations.

This list of easy cocktails is perfect for America’s birthday party. Patriotic cocktails are traditionally red, white, and blue, and may have fruit cutouts of stars, and are generally festive drinks that would be perfect on a hot summer day. Some of these are simply summer cocktails dressed up for the holiday. Really, summer staples cocktails that work for summer barbecues can become a fourth of July cocktail for your celebration. Think fun cocktails and dress ’em up!

Great additions to traditional July cocktails to bring in the red, white, and blue are fresh berries such as fresh strawberries, fresh raspberries, and fresh blueberries.

You can also buy ice cube trays to make festive ice cubes! Little touches that are a fun way to make a fun cocktail into fourth of July drinks make these refreshing drink recipes perfect for your fourth of July cookout.

Depending on your needs, I would suggest shatterproof glassware: red wine glass, white wine glass, highball glass, Tom Collins glass, etc. You can also use disposable drinkware. If your party or get-together is outside, I do not recommend using glass or crystal.

Have a safe, and happy 4th of July!!
