Happy 4th of July to you!
I hope everyone has a safe, happy holiday filled with friends, good food and lots of laughter. I’m honestly not sure what our plans are for tonight—Adam still has family in town so we’ll probably just grill at home with them and watch the fireworks close by.
Today I was planning on doing a biiiiig recipe round-up of all the 4th of July food in the land. And by the land, I mean the Internets. But! Then I realized that that might be silly because you guys probably already have your menu and plans all set. Duh, Jenna. So then I figured I would just do a party drink round-up instead!
Enjoy!
Virgin Sangria. <—–I think this might win as one of the oldest recipes on ELR! I think I stuck it in here back in 2008 so please excuse the awful photo. I need to re-make and re-post this one because it really is quite delicious!
La Paloma (tequila + grapefruit juice + sparkling water. yes.)
P.S.—please, please, please don’t drink and drive. not cool.
P.P.S.—I really love you guys.

Happy 4th Jenna! I hope you and Adam have fun with your relatives, enjoy lots of grilling, and stay very well hydrated!
Happy 4th! I think that pomegranate sangria has my name on it!
I’m so thirsty! Love this roundup! I should hire you to come over today and be a mixologist for our party today! But, actually, I like you so much that I’d never make you work. I’d just feed you

Happy 4th!!
Happy July 4th! Thanks for the non-alcoholic options. We do not drink liquor for health reasons and most people offer up boring and dull alternatives. Yours look so good and refreshing. I’m excited to try them.
Love all these recipes! Look so delicious…now just to decide which to make for the Independence Day Party!

Happy 4th of July!!
As a Canadian I did my celebrations over the weekend..BUUUT I might make that cherry mojito just because.
The La Paloma looks so refreshing. The photo of the grapefruit and limes is delicious! Made my mouth water just looking at it.
Happy 4th!
YES, please. And thank you!
These are great drink recipes! I love serving fun cocktails when we host and although today is a little more relaxing than festive, I am saving these recipes for our next big party!
What an absolutely gorgeous drink!
Happy Fourth of July!!! <3
Who knew grapefruit and lime could be so picturesque? Happy 4th of July!

Wow- every one of these recipes sounds good- but the strawberry agua fresca is #1 on my list to try!
Now I’m thirsty…again…
Hope you had a great day!
Whoa… all the recipes look amazing, then I got to the Strawberry Rhubarb Margarita… oh my goodness that looks fabulous! loving all things rhubarb right now
I’ve got to try out the virgin red wine!!
I live on the veryy south of spain so sangria is a big deal!
Fresh cherry mojitos. No way. Mojitos are my favorite drink, and I just so happen to have been in a cherry obsession for the past two weeks. So pretty much I need to make these immediately.
Love all of these and so pretty too. Hope you guys had a great fourth!
I tried your La Paloma soon after you originally posted it. That drink is amazing!!!
Thanks for sharing this round-up. They all sound delicious. Hope you had an awesome Independence Day!
Pretty sure I just died and went to drink heaven.
Mmmmm those drinks look amazing!
Agua fresca = such a win! Watermelon is my personal fav
