Do you feel like you can’t wait for summer to get here like I do? Like it or not, it is coming and what better way to celebrate than with a tasty beach cocktail?. In preparation of that, I have been poring over this fabulous book I received for review by the editors of Coastal Living, Beach Cocktails: Favorite Surfside Sips and Bar Snacks. I was sent the recipe book at no charge to review but all opinions are my own.

Talk about a great way to get in the mood, looking through the book is a bit like taking a beach vacation. You can imagine yourself sitting in a beach chair with a cool, refreshing drink in your hand!

All you need to do is look at these fabulous beach-themed cocktails. Daiquiris, Margaritas, Pina Coladas and you will be virtually transported to a fabulous beach. This book has old-time favorites like Caipirinhas and Key Lime Gimlets to newer drinks like a Seaside Sunrise or a Passion Fruit Zombie.

Not all cocktail books are created equal and this book is one that is truly outstanding. Drool-worthy colored photos, drink origins and recipes fill this book, that includes Foam and Froth, Happy Hour and there is even a section of Mocktails.

The recipes are easy to follow and the book is a fun one to browse through.

With new drink ideas like the Seaside Sunrise or the Coastal Skies, you will be ahead of the game for your next BBQ or luau party with inspiration from the book You can even see a sample of a few pages of Beach Cocktails: Favorite Surfside Sips and Bar Snacks here.

While the cocktails look beautiful on their own, the scenic coastal settings and destination notes, the drinks look incredibly enticing!

There is also a section on beach bites, simple syrups and fun garnishes for your drinks. I really loved this book and recommend it for your summer party planning, or as a fun and festive gift for your friends who love the beach and cocktails. Right now this book is on my coffee table because it is so cheerful -looking and makes me inspired for those summer days ahead.

What is your favorite beach cocktail?
