Two-Ingredient Spring Cocktails That Are A Piece Of Piss To Make
As we put away our Oodies and finally leave our caves at the end of winter, some of us will be preparing for hay fever to assault our breathing, while others will be assembling cheese boards the moment the sun rises. Personally, the level of dedication to the cheese board scares me but it’s also a reminder that I need to up my party game. And a trusty skill set to have to make you social royalty is a great tasting cocktail.
Making cocktails at home can be fussy and overly challenging if you’re not rightly equipped, and unless you’re Don Draper and keep a fully stocked bar at all times, it’s easy to fall back on a simple glass of wine or bottle of cider. But if you’re like me and enjoy the art of creating, you might not be satisfied with ol’ simple.
Luckily, plenty of easy two-ingredient cocktails are out there to help get you started. Whether you wanna build confidence, treat yourself to something fancy after work, or want to wow the party, these simple two-ingredient recipes should do the trick.
There are also budget-friendly options for some great cocktail mixers to help you refine your own personal recipe. So if you’re all out of higher-cabinet drinks, swing by your nearest Thirsty Camel and grab a fancy bottle to get started.
An ol’ classic two-ingredient cocktail that you can completely eyeball if you want to spite bakers and forego needless measuring. A nice vodka lemonade is always in season and appreciated.

Pour the Patrón Silver into a chilled glass of your choice. Fill the cup with pineapple juice and finish with a squeeze of lime.
A nice way to show off your favourite bourbon in a simple and refreshing style. Great for a nice everyday sipper, or if you’re more of a stoic type that doesn’t know what to do with their hands at parties.
Ingredients
While we’re in the spirit of minimal effort, but great presentation:
Add Bourban to a glass, fill with soda water, top with ice, and garnish with a lemon wheel and mint sprig.
This classic afternoon home cocktail is a staple and for a good reason. An inseparable duo, like Chandler & Joey, & , & Private Jets, it’s impossible to think of one without the other.
Ingredients
Add Gin and tonic to a glass over ice and garnish with a wedge of orange. The orange adds a nice flavour texture, but honestly, it’s also to make the drink stand out amongst everyone else’s non-Spring-themed Gin & Tonic.
