Mixed drinks-

If you want to go an extra step instead of just cracking a can and saying bottoms up, here are some of our favorite super simple mixed drinks that are easy and quick to make while out on the boat:

Rosè Spritzer: 

Rosè lovers this is for you. Make your classic glass of Rosè just a little more refreshing for a lake day by topping off your glass with 25% soda water (just eyeball it). This bubbly drink is perfect for a hot Texas day. 

Gin fizz:

Make a simple gin fizz with just 2 shots of gin topped off with a lemon-flavored sparkling water. It may not be fancy or your classic gin fizz with simple syrup and egg white, but it does the job without the hassle! 

Pineapple breeze:

This tropical drink is the perfect refreshing option for a hot summer day. Just fill your cup with 1.5 shots of Malibu rum, a splash of pineapple juice, top with sprite, and enjoy!
