Mixology 101: What Your Summer Cocktail Says About Your Personality

by Gigi Engle

Summer is all about getting turned up with your friends and having an awesome time at pool parties, on weekend getaways and tropical vacations.

Obviously, you need to have your favorite summer cocktails on deck if you're really going to make the most of the sunshine and live it up.

Every guy has his go-to cocktail while he's lounging in the sun or chilling on the beach. A man's drink choice says a lot about him. Is he sweet or is he spicy? Does he prefer his drinks rum-based or vodka-based?

All of these preferences speak volumes about your personality. Whether you're a mojito man or a Bloody Mary guy, the drink you choose reflects the gentleman you are.

Here is what your favorite summer cocktail says about your personality.
