The 7 best drinks for your summer at the cottage

Nothing says summer like a margarita, but if you’ve ever juiced limes, you know these delicious drinks are a hassle to make. Crack open this ready-to-drink margarita instead. It’s zingy and sweet and perfect for cooling down on the dock. If you want to get fancy, you can even pour it in a cup over ice and add a salt rim.

Mimosas are a sweet, citrusy drink usually made of champagne and orange juice, and this convenient single-serve can means no messy mixing. Sunday Funday is a female-owned Canadian brand bringing the brunch vibes to your dock with this light, bubbly, and low-sugar drink.

Beer isn’t for everyone. We get it. But the summer is the perfect time to have citrusy drinks, so why not mix the two? This tart drink lives up to its sour name and bursts with bright, refreshing flavours of lemon and guava.

One of the most delicious dock drinks is a vodka soda. This version from Cottage Springs is berrylicious. Crack, sip, and enjoy! The blackberry flavour is available in the Cottage Springs ‘Dock Day’ mixed pack.

This classic cottage drink with a cranberry twist is herbal, citrusy, and tart. Not only is this a great sipper for the dock, but it would also pair well with turkey burgers on the deck at dinner time.

This low-sugar cider isn’t too sweet and is made with fresh Ontario apples. It’s light and crisp, making you want more, sip after sip. Enjoy it over ice or from the can, and be sure to bring a few extras to the campfire for sharing with friends!

If you like tequila, but want something other than a margarita, this tequila sunrise is for you. The citrus of the orange is balanced with a hint of pomegranate and organic agave nectar. This one isn’t too sweet or too sour, it's just right.
