Looking for easy summer cocktails? Today I'm sharing three refreshing drinks that are perfect after a long day in the yard or out in the sun. We'll make the classic Gin Rickey, the modern bourbon favorite Gold Rush, and an original mezcal cocktail called the Coyote Swizzle. They're simple to make, very refreshing, and a great way to cool off. Whether you're a gin, bourbon, or mezcal drinker, there's something here for you. Cheers!
