Thanks to our friends at Vodka O we've put together a list of the freshest, tastiest, most summer-y cocktails that'll kickstart the good vibes as we head into the warmer months, aka SiLlY sEaSon!!!

An oldie but a goodie, this is the perfect cocktail if you like your drinks not too sweet and with a ginger twist.

1/2 a lime
30mL Vodka O
170mL chilled ginger beer

Great Gatsby

Righto ol' sport! If you consider yourself the life of the party and don't mind a bitter grapefruit kick then get stuck into the Great Gatsby.

30mL Vodka O
30mL Lillet Blanc
70mL freshly squeezed Grapfruit juice
Garnish with an orange slice

20mL White Rum
14mL Blue Curaçao
80mL pineapple juice
14mL fresh squeezed lemon juice
14mL syrup

1.5 cups of fresh watermelon chopped into chunks
60mL Vodka O
14mL orange liquer
1tsp fresh squeezed lime juice
Blend together in a blender and strain through a sieve.
