From summer spritzers to creative cocktails, this restaurant roundup offer options to coolly keep your thirst quenched as things heat up. Cheers!

Sweet Auburn Barbecue: Beverage Director Jessie Harmon blends some of the season's fruitiest flavors like pineapple and watermelon along with Cana Brava rum and ginger to create a smooth cocktail called "The Bravado."

Across the Street: This restaurant in Old Fourth Wards keeps things refreshingly cool with piña coladas made from scratch with coconut milk.

Chama Gaucha: The answer to a hot, humid day is a cool cocktail called cloudline at this restaurant in Buckhead. Part tart, sweet and ice cold, this drink is the perfect blend of raspberry vodka, Blue Curaçao and fresh lemon juice topped with dry ice for a "cloudy" affect.

Foundation Social Eatery: This modern gastropub in Roswell updated the classic Moscow mule with their version—a seasonal spiced pear mule that culminates into a cool combination of Double Cross vodka, fresh lime juice, ginger beer, St. George spiced pear liqueur with a Tamaya wild baby pear garnish.
