If winter cocktails are warming, a summer afternoon drink should be bright and refreshing—and light enough to have a few. Here are our five favourites from WL‘s Recipe Finder.

1. Homemade Limoncello

Make like the Italians and craft your own sweet summer liqueur from fresh lemons.

2. The Basque Sour

3. Lavender Gin Martini
