Trisha Yearwood's Summer in a Cup

Mix up summertime flavors with Trisha Yearwood—Grammy-winning vocalist, Emmy-winning culinary show host, New York Times bestselling author and cocktail appreciator. Trisha’s recipe for the ultimate summer cocktail is a breeze to make with her signature mix—a vibrant combo of sunny tangerine and sweet cherry juices blended with pineapple juice.

"This breezy cocktail came to be on a hot summer day in Oklahoma, when my friends and I were lazing around the pool," Trisha says. "My friend Mandy went inside and made some drinks to cool us off. Her original concoction had fruit punch and coconut rum in it. She took one sip and said, 'Now that’s summer in a cup!' It's been our favorite summertime tradition ever since."
