When the heat is intense, as it is all over the country right now, there are a few things we can rely on to cool us right down: a dip in the pool, a swim in the ocean, a chilly glass of water and a refreshing fruity cocktail!
Here are two summer drinks that are our new go-tos.
An added plus: Each purchase of Gray Whale Gin supports Oceana, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting the world’s oceans.

Watermelon Slush
Watermelon water, watermelon salad, why not a watermelon cocktail? This recipe is so simple, and the presentation, in the watermelon bowl, is super natural—enjoy!
- 3 oz Gray Whale Gin
- 1 medium seedless watermelon
- 4 oz honey
In a blender, add your watermelon pulp, honey and a moderate amount of ice. For best results we recommend freezing your watermelon pulp before blending and using a moderate amount of ice to avoid a watery drink. Serve in a melon bowl and enjoy.

The lime and cucumber bring a perfect tang to this mojito-inspired cocktail. Salud!
- 2 oz Nosotros Tequila Blanco ⅓ oz agave syrup
- ¾ oz fresh lime juice
- 3 muddled cucumber slices
- 5 muddled mint leaves
