Sip Into Summer: Crafting Cocktails with Skratch Labs' New Seasonal Flavors

Now, it's not every day you'll see us recommending mixing up cocktails, but when we do, you bet they’re going to be spectacular and on the healthier side.

Today, we're bringing you a splash of summer with two tantalizing recipes using Skratch Lab's limited edition summer flavors, Salted Margarita and Cucumber Lime.

They're perfect companions for a post-long day backyard hang or float in the pool. Feel free to put extra Hydration Everyday in either recipe if you've had a sweaty workout and need to replenish electrolytes.

Alright grab your shaker, and let’s go:

Garden Party Skratch Gimlet

Using Skratch Cucumber Lime Hydration Sport Mix

This one is going first because we LOVE it! That's right, we're naming a favorite of the two and this is it. So smooth, so fresh. You have to try it to believe it.

 

 

Ingredients

1-2 oz of gin (depending on how strong you prefer)

4 oz water

.5 oz lime juice

3 fresh basil leaves

1/2 scoop of Skratch Cucumber Lime Hydration Sport Mix

 

Instructions

1. In a shaker, combine half a scoop of Skratch Cucumber Lime Hydration Sport Mix with 3 fresh basil leaves and muddle.
2. Add the gin, water, and lime juice.
3. Shake it up vigorously with ice (shake it like you mean it to mix that powder well!).
4. Serve up and garnish with a basil leaf and a slice of cucumber for that extra touch of garden freshness

Spicy Citrus Skratch Mezcal-rita

Using Skratch Hyrdration Everyday Salted Margarita

 

 

Ingredients

1.5 oz of mezcal (We used Dos Hombres but if you can't get, or don't like mezcal, this can be substituted for tequila)

1.5 oz grapefruit juice

2 oz water

.5 oz lime juice

.5 oz agave

1 scoop of Skratch Hydration Everyday Salted Margarita

2 jalapeno slices

 

Instructions

1. 1. Start by muddling a full scoop of Skratch Salted Margarita mix with jalapeños and agave in your shaker.
2. Pour in the mezcal, water, grapefruit juice, and lime juice.
3. Give it a vigorous shake with ice (extra effort here makes all the difference to dissolve the powder).
4. Strain it over rocks in a glass with a salted rim (level up by using Skratch mix as your rim) and garnish with a lime wheel

 

And there you have it—two stunning cocktails that not only taste amazing but also keep you hydrated...or maybe at least don't dehydrate you 🤷🏻

Whether you're hosting a full-blown garden party or just kicking back with a few friends, these drinks are your perfect summertime companions. And remember, while we're all for having a good time, please drink responsibly. Stay safe and keep sipping smart!

Here's to summer vibes and good times,
