You are going to thank me for sharing my family’s Sunshine Drink Cocktail with you! This refreshing light and fruit filled drink is perfect for Summertime (or anytime). So we make these Sunshine Drinks every year when we go camping with our family. It was always a secret recipe of my dad’s and it really is so good!

Even if you don’t like a bunch of fruit or fruity drinks, you will like this. All my brothers who are beer drinkers like this and even my husband who likes whiskey & coke. I promise you, once you give this easy, boozy, fruit filled drink a try you will understand why we call it a Sunshine Drink.

Why this is one of our favorite camping cocktails

Our dad ONLY will make us (2 ) of these camping drinks on a hot day (later in the day) because they are so good and you can’t taste the booze..which obviously can be a bad thing! We even call them My maiden name “Langan Leisures” But my Dad originally called them Sunshine Drinks (so we will stick with that!)

These whiskey drinks are perfect sippers while playing some bean bags, chilling by the pool, or just hanging out on the porch. Or if you just want some new campfire cocktails to add to the rotation- try this!

What you need for this Sunshine Drink (Our Camping Cocktail)

Whiskey– my Dad always used Crown or Segrams’s 7.
Lemon– fresh
Orange– fresh
Lime– fresh
Ice
Diet Cherry 7 Up– trust me the Diet is less sweet and compliments the other ingredients nicely. Can’t find it? Regular Diet 7-up tastes good, too.

How to make this Sunshine Cocktail

First, start by slicing up fresh lemons, limes, and oranges on a cutting board. We like these for camping!

Then fill your cup or glass with ice and add your whisky of choice, 1 slice of each fruit ( I like to squeeze it in there). Then fill the rest with Diet Cherry 7 Up..and yes Diet…it’s perfect (not as sweet).

So I hope you enjoy my family’s Sunshine Drink as much as we do!! Cheers and Happy Camping!

Want to make it a “Mock” Tail?

If you want to, you can remove the whiskey for a great mocktail, too. Or my kids call them “fancy drinks”. That way they can participate in the fun, too.
