We all love strawberry daiquiris, but did you know that the OG daiquiri is actually lime-flavored? Mix it up by going back to the basics with some refreshing tanginess, provided by Colleen Graham on the spruce.

You'll Need:
2 ounces light rum
1 1/2 ounces fresh lime juice
3/4 ounce simple syrup
1 cup ice

What You'll Need To Do:
Blend all of your ingredients together until you get your desired thickness, pour into a chilled glass (you don't want to be slurping a lime puddle), and garnish with a lime wedge (add an orange slice if you're feeling particularly classy).

This recipe from Diets in Review is super easy, delightfully creamy, and certain to make you the trendiest wine-mom-in-training on your block.

You'll Need:
2 pints Talenti Sorbetto, Blood Orange and Roman Raspberry (substitute any sorbets with similar creaminess-levels)
1/2 lime, juiced
1/2 bottle of cabernet sauvignon or other dry red wine
1/4 cup mixed berries (optional, but why the hell not?)

What You'll Need To Do:
Literally just throw it all into a blender. Add wine for a thinner consistency, add sorbetto to thicken it up. Pop some extra fruit on as a garnish and Instagram that shiz.

This is what love at first sight looks like. Tequila and peaches. Thanks @Bobby Flay and the Food Network, you high-profile, liquored-up angels.

You'll Need:
2 ripe white peaches, peeled, pitted and chopped
1/4 cup silver tequila
1/4 cup peach liqueur (recommended: Creme de Peche)
1/4 cup lime juice
2 tablespoons simple syrup
Ice cubes

What You'll Need To Do:
Like the pro-blender-er that you are, throw all that good stuff into a food processor/blender until smooth. For a garnish, slice peaches and mint sprigs, and prepare to feel like you're on Desperate Housewives in the best possible way.

Guys, look at them, they're so cute. Pop a cherry on anything and we're sold. This recipe from Drinks Mixer serves two, and it's a solid replacement for a pina colada.

You'll Need:
3 ounces vodka
4 ounces pineapple juice
2 ounces cream of coconut
1 teaspoon confectioners' sugar (or more)
1 cup crushed ice

What You'll Need To Do:
BLEND THAT SUMMERY GOODNESS. Then take a slice of pineapple and a maraschino cherry. You can spear them with a toothpick (as shown above), or you can just sit them on top of your foamy, frozen drink like two little boats of freshness on a sea of booze. Drop in a little umbrella to pretend you're on the beach instead of in your backyard.

Similar to a "Chilly Irishman" (insert a giggle), this unique drink from Creative Culinary is sure to make you a living, breathing human again instead of a sweaty couch potato. What's better than iced coffee on a hot day? Iced coffee with whiskey, hands down.

You'll Need:
2 cups ice
4 oz cold espresso coffee
2 oz Kahlua
1.5 oz Irish Whiskey
2 scoops vanilla ice cream

What You'll Need To Do:

Anything with boozy in the name is going to be a winner. This boozy strawberry lemonade from Kitchen Treaty is no exception. Add a lil' vodka to this classic summer drink for the perfect sweet-and-sour cocktail experience.

You'll Need:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water + 2 cups water
3 cups fresh strawberries, hulls removed
3/4 cup fresh-squeezed lemon juice (from 6-8 large lemons)

Add sugar and 1 cup water to a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally, until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and add remaining 2 cups water. Add to the pitcher of a blender along with strawberries, lemon juice, vodka, and Cointreau. Puree until completely smooth. Pour into a large freezer-safe container and seal with lid or plastic wrap. Carefully transfer to freezer. Freeze until solid, 4-6 hours.

Then take that sucker out, and bottoms up! Full disclosure, this recipe's creator warns that "boozy" is a bit of an understatement. These will knock you out. Stick to one or two, or cut back on the vodka, comrade.
