Everyone deserves a little celebratory drink once in a while… These are ten of my favorite festive sips for spring and summer. Serve them up for party guests or treat yourself to an icy refresher after a long day. Either way, you’ll have as much fun making these as you do slurping them down.

Lastly, if you didn’t already know—bar measurements can be a little confusing since “ounces” of liquids actually means “fluid ounces.” Since most of us don’t have professional bar measuring tools, here is an easy conversion chart so you can use your standard kitchen utensils:

4 ounces = 8 tablespoons = 1/2  cup
3 ounces = 6 tablespoons
2 ounces = 4 tablespoons = 1/4 cup
1 ounce = 2 tablespoons
1/2 ounce = 1 tablespoon
1/4 ounce = 1/1/2 teaspoons
1/8 ounce = 3/4 teaspoons

So which drink are you going to try first? Snap a photo of the one you try and upload it to your LaurenConrad.com profile page (don’t forget to click “Submit this photo” or click here for full directions on how to submit to the gallery). I’ll add the best drink photos to the Dine Gallery.

Happy sipping!

P.S. Do you have a delicious recipe for a spring or summer cocktail (virgin or alcoholic)? Share your recipe below or upload the recipe to your profile.

*For drink #1, use your favorite champange and add in a stick of rock candy. For drink #2, use pink lemonade and for the Ginger Ale Fizzles-- mix ginger ale together with a splash of iced tea.

When I went to Vegas, I had this amazing drink!

They called it Dragonade. In a 24 oz drink they put just over 2 shots of Bacardi Dragonberry and fill the rest with frozen pink lemonade! 

The frozen pink lemonade makes it perfect for summer (basically a slushy!) and the Bacardi Dragonberry is delicious! It's obviously easy to make, and I think everyone should give it a try! I would walk all the way back to Caesars (there is a little 'cart' outside of Caesars that sells them) just to have another one!

These drinks look so pretty and tasty. The green tea latte reminds me of Starbuck's green tea frap.  

These are all so good looking, i must say though i wil try the Iced Green Tea latte first!

These are soo perfect to serve at a small get together or small party. or even a girls night in. Ill be hanging out for spring in October to serve some of this to my friends :) Thanks lauren!
