Magical Summer Cocktails

Choose one of these central magical ingredients and swirl it into a refreshing potent potable, aligned with the summer and the sun.

In the northern hemisphere, June is like magical high noon. The sun—our radiant source of life and the blazing heart of our solar system—rises toward its zenith at the Summer Solstice, flooding the world with warmth, energy, and golden possibility.

Naturally, magical energies are also reaching their yearly peak.

This is a time to celebrate life, gather herbs, charge crystals in the sunlight…and mix a cocktail or two.

Below, you’ll find a collection of enchanting cocktail ideas—each one a delicious potion inspired by a central magical ingredient that resonates with the essence of June. You’ll also find links to full recipes, so you can easily craft your own spirited spellwork.

And if you make one (or several) for your Midsummer festivities, be sure to pour one for the sun. Raise your glass in a toast, then offer the sun’s drink back to the earth in gratitude and joyful reverence.

Mint Potions

Summer is the time to savor a mojito or mint julep.

Magically, mint brings a sense of peace, clarity, and calm. It’s also healing, energizing, cleansing, and uplifting. Before adding mint to a cocktail, hold your hands over it and direct your intentions for serenity and healing into the herb.

Strawberry Potions

Strawberries are a love-and-luck-drawing berry that evoke the sweet simplicity and abundance of the summer season.

Make your strawberry cocktails into love potions by first holding your strawberries in the summer sunlight (or moonlight) and requesting Venus’s blessings.

Lemon Potions

In Cunningham’s Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs, Scott Cunningham lists the following magical powers for lemon: “Longevity, Purification, Love, Friendship.”

Choose one of these intentions for your cocktail. Then hold your lemon(s) in both hands. Close your eyes and tune into the intention. Feel the feelings associated with it, and send those feelings into the lemons as visualized light. Then prepare your potion.

Orange Potions

Here’s a quote about oranges from my book, Little Guide to Money Magic: “With its bright and happy color, flowing water in the form of juice, and the actual taste of sunshine, an orange is almost literally bursting with the energy of joyful abundance.”

Make your cocktails into happiness, joy, luck, wealth, or success potions by choosing a cocktail recipe that features fresh oranges or orange juice. Simply bless the oranges in sunlight first and ask the Divine to fill them with the qualities you’re calling in.

Peach Potions

Sacred to the Goddess, peaches are associated with love, romance, and wishes. Make a peach cocktail this June as a love potion, or as a potion to make a wish on. Just be sure to infuse the peach(es) with your clear intention first.

Melon Potions

Melons are the quintessence of summer magic: they’re sweet like the season, round like the sun, and filled with water like the sea.

Make a Midsummer cocktail potion featuring melon to call in sweetness, abundance, and/or luck. First, place the melon(s) in the Midsummer sun for a moment as you place your hands on it and send your intention into it.

Rose Potions

Of course, as the sun is at its pinnacle, the flower that represents pure love is in bloom.

Make a cocktail into a love potion with roses or rose ingredients. Call in love, bless love, or align with divine love. After you prepare your rose potion, hold it in both hands and send your intention into the drink.
