20 Best 4th of July Drinks
Say hello to our best 4th of July drinks! They include cocktails that range from fruity and fun (looking at you, strawberry margarita) to crisp and classic (like this negroni). You’ll also find several non-alcoholic options here. They’re colorful, refreshing, and just as festive as any of the alcoholic cocktails on this list. I think drinks are an underrated part of any July Fourth cookout, potluck, or picnic menu. A summery cocktail or a cold pitcher of lemonade will instantly make your celebration feel more festive, and it gives everyone something to sip while you put the finishing touches on []
