Stay cool in the warm summer sun with these delicious cocktails and mocktails, best enjoyed poolside and on terraces island-wide. Whether you’re in the middle of the action in St Helier or on the west coast, here are some of our top recommendations:

Grand Jersey Hotel & Spa

The popular Fluffy Clouds is a gin-based cocktail which includes a palate-pleasing combination of lemon juice, butterscotch, mint and juniper infusion, egg white and sugar syrup topped off with a ‘cloud’ of lemon cream. See how it is made here. 

A revitalising blend of strawberries, orange juice, lemon juice and sugar syrup, the Strawberry Fantasy mocktail is a fabulous alcohol-free way to combat the summer heat. Enjoy yours on Grand Jersey’s sun-trap terrace or in their contemporary Champagne Lounge.

St Brelade’s Bay Hotel

The Bramble is an ever-popular cocktail with gin-lovers. This classic cocktail sees gin paired with a refreshing blend of Chambord raspberry liqueur, lemon juice and sugar syrup. The mixture is poured over crushed ice and garnished with blackberries. The visual ‘trickle down’ effect, similar to a bramble bush, is often credited as the origin of the cocktail’s name. 

The Strawberry Margarita mocktail is a crowd-pleaser at St Brelade’s Bay Hotel. This sweet and sour drink is packed with plenty of fresh fruit making it perfect for all ages. Fresh strawberries, lime juice, orange juice and sugar syrup combine to create the perfect summer thirst-quencher. However you choose to cool down, the terrace at St Brelade’s Bay Hotel is a fabulous place to sip in the sun.

The Black and Blue Caipiroska, a smooth mix of vodka with blackberries, blueberries and lime juice, is one of L’Horizon Beach Hotel & Spa’s most popular cocktails and for good reason. This summery blend is one you’ll want to be sipping on as you savour the views of Jersey’s most beautiful beach from the hotel’s terrace. For a refreshing non-alcoholic drink, try the Big Apple mocktail - a sweet combination of orange juice, apple juice, grenadine and soda water.
