When that summer heat starts to kick in, a refreshing iced beverage is not a want but a need! If you’re a fan of summer cocktails and saving money, then this fun trend is for you.

London-based food writer Alexandra Dudley shared on TikTok (@alexandradudleyofficial) one of her favorite summer drink hacks, where she makes cocktails for her and her friends in jam jars.

“I feel like all of us are trying to save a little money at the moment, so this is one of the ways I’m saving money right now,” Alexandra says in her video.

To start out, Alexandra sets out two glass jam jars on the counter, each one containing a large ice cube.

Next, she pours one of her personal favorites, Campari, into the jars before securing their lids on the top.

Now, she has two beautifully red and refreshing drinks to take to the park for her and her brother to sip on.

The options are endless when it comes to what type of cocktails you could whip up in these jars. It’s all about personal preference.

Negronis, an Old Fashioneds, or even something fruity, it’s up to you. Even if alcohol isn’t your thing, making mocktails or lemonades in jam jars would also be a cute idea.

Even though meeting up with friends at the bar is always an option when you could really go for a drink, this common outing can get very expensive very quickly.

Making your drinks at home like this is a great way to save money, and the jam jar lids make them super convenient to carry around to your friend’s backyard or a local park. That way, you can enjoy the beautiful weather in addition to your delicious creations.

Whether it’s for a cute picnic date or a get-together with friends, the simplicity and convenience of this trend make it great for summer days.

It would be a perfect addition to a day out on the lake or an evening watching the sunset on your friend’s patio.
