Springtime is the start of outdoor dining season in Salem, NH. Here are three warm-weather favorites that perfectly capture the spirit of al fresco sipping.
Classic Mojito
Few drinks feel as crisp and cooling as a mojito on a warm day. With fresh mint leaves, lime juice, white rum, sugar, and a splash of soda water, this Cuban classic is light, zesty, and endlessly drinkable. It’s the kind of cocktail that complements everything from seafood to salads, making it a staple on many outdoor menus. The aroma of mint alone adds to the sensory experience of dining outside.
Spicy Paloma
If you’re looking for something with a little kick, the spicy paloma delivers. Traditionally made with tequila and grapefruit soda, this variation adds a touch of heat, often from jalapeño slices or a chili-infused rim. The balance of citrusy sweetness and subtle spice makes it incredibly refreshing while still packing a punch. It’s an excellent choice for those who want something vibrant and a bit unexpected.
Peach Bourbon Smash
Nothing says summer quite like ripe peaches, and this cocktail makes the most of them. The peach bourbon smash combines muddled fresh peaches, lemon juice, a hint of simple syrup, and smooth bourbon. The result is a slightly sweet, slightly tangy drink with a deeper flavor profile than your typical summer cocktail. It’s perfect for sipping slowly as you enjoy a relaxed evening outdoors.
