Who says peppermint is just for the holiday season? Food photographer and blogger Jonathan Gayman definitely would check the "disagree" box.

Pink makes us think of soft sweet summer nights. Marla Meredith from Family Fresh Cooking puts a beachy spin on pink graperfruit juice and rum with her Pink Flamingo. Even if you're stuck in the city, it's guaranteed to transport you to sandy shores.
Who needs a thick, overly sweet drink to bust out the paper umbrellas? Blogger Judy at I'm Bored Let's Go whips up a rum and pineapple juice concoction that'll keep you from reaching for the blender ever again.

What's better than melty chocolate, toasted marshmallows and graham crackers? Angie McGowan from Doughmesstic ups the ante with vodka, creme de cacao and Irish Cream. We recommend sipping these on the deck rather than risking wandering around in the woods after one or two of these.
