Summer is officially here and we couldn’t be more excited! What better way to spend time together with friends and family than to host your loved ones over food and beverage. We’ve compiled a list of our favorite summer cocktails that are sure to impress any guest for any occasion. We’ve also paired each drink and occasion together with our favorite gold pieces from our summer Oasis Collection. Cheers!

The Recipe:
½ pint fresh strawberries
½ c. blanco tequila
1.5 oz. Cointreau
1 lime, juiced (about an ounce)
1 tbsp honey, raw if you have it
2-3 basil sprigs
ice
kosher salt

There’s nothing like a cool margarita on a hot summer’s day. We found the perfect recipe that keeps your guest cool during any poolside get-together, this drink is the perfect mix of sweet and sour with basil and strawberry. But no pool party is complete without the perfect swimsuit and a little bit of bling. Our matching Oasis earring, bracelet, and necklace trio will be the perfect companion to your beautiful cocktail and guarantee an Instagram-worthy photo.

It’s simple and filled with ingredients you probably already have in your kitchen! Speaking of spicing up a classic, our Ryan Hoops would be the perfect addition to any girl’s night outfit.

There’s no doubt that brunch is a time to break all of the rules, so why not serve tequila at 11am?
