The only thing better than summer itself is the perfect summer drink. (This isn’t negotiable; it’s a straight up fact.)

It’s not wrong to want a delicious beverage that’s going to cool you down in the heat, whether you’re kicking back on a patio or getting ready before a big night out. But not all cocktails are created equal, and who wants to settle for less?

Thankfully, you’ll never have to settle again.

CÎROC has launched a limited edition premium drink for this season that provides the base for sweet and savoury cocktails: CÎROC Summer Colada. That’s why we’ve rounded up a few patio-perfect cocktail recipes that you can make with it. If it’s good enough for a hip-hop mogul like Diddy (a noted fan), you can be sure you’re going to like celebrating your hustle with this drink.

The CÎROC Summer Colada is all fresh pineapple abound with a touch of coconut cream. Then a fruity tropical note carries you into a long, smooth finish… and it’s divine.

Here’s a look at some of the creative cocktails that you can make with the Colada base.
