Looking for the best summer cocktails with whisky? You’re in the right place! Whether you’re searching for refreshing whisky summer cocktails or tropical whisky cocktails, I’ve got the perfect recipes to share with you. These delightful drinks not only highlight the smooth sophistication of Scotch Whisky but also incorporate vibrant summer flavors like pineapple and coconut. I’ll be sharing recipes for a whisky and pineapple cocktail as well as an amazing whisky, pineapple, and coconut cocktail. I make both of these recipes after getting the limited-edition “Golden Summer” cocktail kit. The kit combines the sophistication of Chivas 12-Year-Old with the vibrant Latin flavors of Goya’s Pineapple Juice and Coconut Water — to effortlessly make a Pineapple Gold Rush and Chivas Coco Ice cocktail at home. You can also use the kit to create your own whisky drinks this summer so you can enjoy with friends!
Whisky Summer Cocktails
A lot of people don’t think of whisky when they think of summer cocktails but let me tell you that mixing summer flavors like pineapple and coconut with a great Scotch Whisky is a combination made in cocktail heaven. Whisky, especially a luxurious blend like Chivas 12-Year-Old, has a rich, smooth character that pairs beautifully with the tropical notes of pineapple and the refreshing taste of coconut water. The slight sweetness, and zest brightness and balances the rich taste of the whisky. The result? A cocktail that’s both sophisticated and incredibly refreshing. And I love that the Chivas and Goya “Golden Hour” cocktail kit made creating these delicious summer cocktails a breeze. Let me share my favorite recipes with you.
Chivas Coco Ice Cocktail
